When Ducati first announced that they were to supply the MotoE bikes, Domenicali was quoted as saying:

“Some brands [in the group] are closer to us than others. There is a group battery centre of excellence and we are discussing very closely with them, but it is mainly related to mass production cars, mainly VW and Audi. So we are also working very closely with the more sporty brands like Porsche and Lamborghini.

“Porsche are developing their own specific battery technology for small series of very high performance, and have just presented their Mission R with a very sophisticated oil-cooled battery.

“There is a lot of experience and we will take a good advantage from it.”
