Does anyone know the specifics of the deal? I was under the impression that it was a done thing. What is the timeline for this buyout to become official?
It seems like Maxwell has not done their Q4 ER yet so there may be more info coming.
After listening more closely to the Maxwell audio I am impressed by their statement that the dry electrode tech can yield a 16x increase in battery production capacity density and 20% cost reduction. GF1 may just have become TF1.
This seems like it is a substantial incremental improvement. Maxwell discusses working with an OEM automotive manufacturer and I have to believe that is Tesla although it is not directly stated so Tesla may have been looking at this tech for a while.
