To have any shot, the United States alone may need 20 to 40 gigafactories over 15 years, with a combined terawatt of new battery capacity, to meet projected demand, says Venkat Srinivasan, director of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science. Will the EV battery world be able to meet the EV demand? Explosive Growth.

The lithium-ion battery comprises 168 prismatic cells and is liquid-cooled. The Q7 PHEV will arrive in dealerships in Germany in 2016, and will likely come to the US, although perhaps with a gasoline-engine variant. Its emphasis is on lithium-ion battery systems, which are put together using a flexible, modular concept.
