Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, July 27 (Xinhua)-- Porsche said on Wednesday local time that it was considering building an electric vehicle battery plant with a capacity of up to 20GWh in areas close to Germany, the United States and Canada. To that end, Porsche is in talks with potential financial and strategic partners, and the cost of the plant is expected to be as high as $3.3 billion (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 23.595 billion yuan).

Porsche pointed out on Wednesday morning local time that supply chain problems will persist in the second half of the year. At present, the company is facing pressure to accelerate the electrification transformation, including pure electric Macan, including a number of major electric vehicles due to software failure, the launch time has to be delayed. At the same time, delivery of Porsche's only all-electric model, the Taycan, fell 5 per cent in the first half of the year due to a shortage of parts.

Porsche CEO Obermu said that since most of the vehicles are made in Germany, it may be reasonable to increase battery capacity near Germany. At the same time, the application process is simple and the provisions of the inflation reduction Act have made the United States increasingly attractive to Porsche.

Porsche currently owns Cellforce, a joint venture that studies high-performance batteries, and has invested in a 1.3GWh plant in southwestern Germany.

On Wednesday night local time, Xiaopeng and Volkswagen reached a strategic partnership to jointly develop two B-class pure electric models, which will be sold in China as a Volkswagen brand, CTOnews.com previously reported. It should be noted that Volkswagen is the parent company of Porsche, but Porsche holds the largest number of shares in Volkswagen.
