Battery maker Inobat is to bulk supply Lilium with high-performance battery cells for its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet.
Inobat said it will build Lilium Jet battery cells at existing Volta I and future Volta II plants in Voderady, Slovakia.
Production at Volta I is due to start in early 2024. The Volta II plant will be Inobat’s first gigafactory, with up to 4GWh of production capacity.
Lilium participated in Inobat’s recent Series C investment round.
Gotion High-Tech, whose largest external shareholder is Volkswagen, will provide resources and manufacturing know-how to Inobat’s Volta II plant.
