Built in-house, Bhavish Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Ola Electric noted that the company will begin the mass production of its cell from its upcoming Gigafactory by 2023.
NMC 2170 packs more energy in a given space as it uses NMC on the cathode side; and Graphite and Silicon on the Anode side, noted Ola. The company is in the process of recruiting top cell R&D talent across the globe, and will employ 500 PhDs and Engineers.
