Although to a minimum, the Russian state may acquire a stake in the American Tesla car manufacturer through its holding in Maxwell Technologies battery manufacturing company.
This can be done by closing Tesla for $ 218 million in the acquisition of the Maxwell Technologies battery manufacturer.
Maxwell Technologies previously purchased the Canadian Nesscap Energy company, which in turn purchased its stake in 2011 in the Russian state-owned Rusnano.
At present, Rusnano has a 0.2 percent share in Maxwell Technologies, which, if Tesla acquires a share swap, will be included in the ownership of the US vehicle manufacturer.
Tesla is currently using Panasonic's batteries in their cars, but if they acquire Maxwell Technologies, the US vehicle manufacturer can start producing its own battery soon.
