It contains carbon fiber that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor, and load-bearing material. The structural battery uses carbon fiber as a negative electrode, and a lithium iron phosphate-coated aluminum foil as the positive electrode. GPa, and tensile strength exceeding 300?MPa.

This approach requires not just the design engineering of the vehicle, but also the development of the integrated assembly process (enabled by the MQB), plus training of personnel in the plant. The power electronics converts the direct current (DC) stored in the battery to alternating current (AC). More on this below.).
