SGL Carbon lists the optimum water and gas tightness as well as resistance to corrosion as further advantages. According to NIO, the battery casings – still only available as prototypes – are designed as such so that they can be switched at the automobile manufacturers’ changing stations within three minutes. SGL Carbon predicts a heavy increase in demand for lightweight battery case solutions over the next few years due to the growing number of electric cars.
