A lithium-ion battery that weighs nearly half the weight of the best batteries on the market 37 has reportedly been built by the Kreisel brothers in Austria. For comparison, the battery in a Tesla Model S weighs 16lbs per kWh while the Kreisel battery weighs 9lbs per kWh. VW allegedly visited the Kreisel plant and placed an order for batteries to be installed in its e-Golf for testing and according to one of the brothers; “the whole world is currently knocking on our door.” The Kreisel's patented process uses lasers to bond battery cells together and claims to have a longer life.The company currently has the capacity to build batteries to power 8,000 electric vehicles per year, but could be increased to meet higher levels of demand.
