What was all the work that Daimler put into Liarion? Daimler made a financial investment in Litarion just as Evonik made a financial investment in Li-Tec. Each company was responsible for their respective endeavour, Litarion electrodes and separators, Li-tec cells, modules, packs, controllers, integration, and such. Daimler is continuing their same work, just at Accumotive not Li-tec. LG Chem and Daimler do not need Separion just as Leclanche does not Separion for their NMC cells, each has their own separator that fits the application quite nicely. On the other hand Electrovaya needs Separion because they're the company that has seen the greatest amount of fires as a percentage of product in the marketplace, bar none. Electrovaya claims a leading Chinese battery company, just as Electrovaya claims its superior tech., has ordered an amount that should be greater than one million in 2015 and growing to larger amounts in 2016, hardly a ringing endorsment. If the market believed that Tesla or any other major company was in the cards Electrovaya would not be valued at that less than 60 million.
