CATL CEO and founder Robin Zeng disagrees with the style at the work of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and directly attacks his “recipe” for battery production.
Robin Zeng, founder of the world's largest electric car battery company, says Tesla CEO Elon Musk's big bet on 4,680 cylinder cell technology “will fail and never succeed”.
„It will fail and it will never succeed. We had a big discussion and I showed it to him personally. He was silent. He doesn't know how to make a battery. It's all electrochemistry. He's good at chips, software, hardware, mechanical stuff, “ the CATL CEO told The Verge.
Elon Musk did not respond to Zeng's comments.
