Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com March 3 news, Weilai made it clear last year that it wanted to build its own battery. According to the latest news, Weilai continues to add self-made batteries, spending 1 billion yuan on research and development every year, and constantly poaching people.

According to 36 Krypton, Ulay is looking for talent for battery projects, including high-level talent from Apple and Panasonic, including Shawn Hao, senior battery quality manager, and Zack IZAKI, Panasonic's general manager of North American technology. At present, these two executives have joined the post and reported to Zeng Shu-hsiang, vice president of Weilai.

Reported that Shawn Hao began to enter the automotive project in August 2015, is a core figure in Apple's automotive engineering, previously responsible for battery technology management and supplier quality management of products such as iPhone phones.

Izaki led the engineering landing of Panasonic batteries in North America and was a key figure in pulling Tesla out of "capacity hell" with Musk.

As previously reported by CTOnews.com, Reuters quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Lailai was planning to build its first battery factory in Hefei to reduce its dependence on the Ningde era. The plant has a planned capacity of 40GWh, and its batteries are similar to Tesla's 4680 and 4695 large cylindrical batteries. After it is put into production, it is expected to power about 400000 long-range electric vehicles.

Lailai added a new construction project in May last year, with a plan to invest about 218 million yuan to lease an industrial plant in Anting Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, for the construction of battery R & D laboratories and pilot lines. According to the latest report from 36 Krypton, a sample of a large cylindrical battery has been developed on the small trial line in Anting, Shanghai. This experimental base, which covers the trial production line of cells and battery packages, has not yet been completely completed, but key equipment manufacturers have been stationed for nearly half a year.
