The Wall Street Journal reported that leading battery maker LG Chem Ltd. (KRX:051910) is creating an electric car pack that “extends the range of most vehicles on the road today, but at a similar price.”
The move “shows the outsize impact” that Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) “has had on the global automotive industry,” the news outlet states.
Prabhakar Patil, the company’s chief executive, commented:
We are definitely working on making a 200-mile-range battery electric vehicle at around the $30,000 to $35,000 price target.
