Porsche intends to partner with a specialized company to produce very high performance batteries specific to its cars.
Porsche announced this week in a press release its intention to enter into new partnerships with lithium battery specialists to develop specific high-performance batteries, different from those used by almost the entire automotive industry.
Porsche's R & D boss, Michael Steiner, told our colleagues at Automotive News that current battery suppliers were more focused on cost-cutting and mass production goals, leaving behind the specific needs of brands such as Porsche, which are looking for more efficient, and necessarily more expensive, batteries.

Porsche would be looking to develop these batteries initially for its competition vehicles and then expand them to high-performance production models. But we're going to have to find a partner capable of producing these batteries, who wouldn't be too busy supplying larger customers.
A first track could be the German manufacturer Custom cells, which is a partner of many German companies specialising in producing high-performance batteries on a small scale. But it must also be remembered that Porsche is also the capital of Rimac, which could contribute its expertise in the field of electrobility.
