Shares of CBAK Energy Technology (NASDAQ:CBAT) stock are rising on Wednesday after a report emerged saying that the firm will start developing Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)-inspired 4680 battery cells by the end of 2021.
The China-based battery manufacturer now joins three other companies with plans to produce the specific battery for Tesla. And according to the report, CBAK “announced that from 2023 it will also produce 25Ah/1kW peak power density 4680 cylindrical cells on a large scale, initially completing their development and receiving samples by the end of 2021.”
