Tesla gaat Maxwell pas in april overnemen, dan komen die 200 miljoen volgend kwartaal in de boeken:

Today, Tesla filed an amendment to their tender offer in order to push the deadline for closing the offer to April 10:
“On March 28, 2019, Tesla announced that it has extended the expiration of its previously announced offer to acquire each outstanding share of common stock of Maxwell Technologies, Inc. to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, at the end of April 10, 2019, unless extended further or terminated in accordance with the merger agreement.”

In a paper published last year, Maxwell’s lead chemists and battery scientists described their coating technology:
“Unlike conventional slurry cast wet coated electrode, Maxwell’s DBE offers significantly high loading and produces a thick electrode that allows for high energy density cells without compromising physical properties and electrochemical performance. Maxwell’s DBE exhibits better discharge rate capability than those of wet coated electrode. Maxwell has demonstrated scalability by producing robust self supporting dry coated electrode film in roll form with excellent long-term electrochemical cycle performance, and established large pouch cell prototypes in greater than 10Ah format.”
Maxwell claims that its electrode enables an energy density of over 300 Wh/kg in current demonstration cells and they see a path to over 500 Wh/kg.
They also demonstrate close to 90% capacity retention after almost 1,500 cycles and their cells maintain their capacity at higher discharge rate much better than the same cells without their dry electrode.
Tesla could be looking to acquire the company in order to implement this technology into their own batteries, but they would need to complete the transaction.

Goede vooruitzichten... wie weet voor de volgende modellen... ik denk aan de roadster (weinig aantallen)
