According to relevant media reports, Tesla (tsla.us) has renewed a five-year battery research contract with Jeff Dahn's battery research laboratory to jointly develop longer-life, lower-cost electric vehicle batteries.

It is reported that Dane's research laboratory operates at Dalhousie University, and it is very supportive of Tesla's goal of reducing battery costs. Under the new agreement, Tesla will fund Dane's lab.

Tesla's partnership with a Canadian university began on June 8, 2016, with the two companies working together to develop a new strategy for the development and longevity of electric vehicle batteries. With this renewal, the partnership will be extended until at least 2026

In addition, Dalhousie University announced on January 18 that it will add two well-known scientists to the collaboration, dr. chongyin yang and dr. Michael Metzger, chair of the university's latest research on electric vehicle batteries and technology development, will also be involved in Dalhousie's collaboration with Tesla to jointly develop world-class electric vehicle batteries.
