Andrew Grove might have retired from chipmaker Intel back in 2005, but he still has some words of advice for current CEO Paul Otellini: consider making advanced batteries for plug-in electric cars.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Grove, who still works for Intel in an advisory capacity, has urged Otellini to consider getting the company into high-end batteries as a way to diversity its business. The automotive industry will likely be looking to technology companies to improve battery technology and reduce production costs on automative batteries as the industry begins to offer more electric vehicles.
