Stellantis has taken an important step for EV batteries. The company, which includes important car brands such as Fiat and Ferrari, is seeking to reduce battery sizes. In this sense, the Italians pressed the button for long-range small electric cars.
Long-range small EV battery shrinks
According to the statement made by Stellanis, the Italian company plans to reduce the size of batteries by fifty percent. Accordingly, the company’s goal is to reach this target by 2030.
The company previously made a major investment in Lyten, which has an important place in lithium-sulfur battery technology. According to new information, Stellanis has started to reap the fruits of this investment.
Accordingly, the newly developed prototype eliminates the need for electric conversion modules. Accordingly, the new battery technology combines the functions of the electric charger and inverter in lithium-ion battery modules, saving interior space. EV batteries will thus be both smaller and lighter.
The main goal here is to make a difference in the small-sized and affordable electric car market where China is influential. Stellanis is experienced in producing small-sized and affordable cars, especially with the Fiat brand.
In this sense, it was among the expectations that the company would compete with Chinese electric car manufacturers in this field. Stellanis’ production of its own EV battery is important for the future of the European automobile market. However, the fact that these new batteries will appear in 2030 is one of the question marks. Every year there is a new breakthrough, especially in EV batteries.
However, affordable and long-range electric cars could change the entire market. Of course, we should not forget that there is neither the car nor the battery. Stellanis announced last year that it will produce fully EV in 2027. According to this target, it seems that 2030 will not be earlier.
In EV technology, both battery life and charging speed are of great importance. It is also expected that the batteries, which have decreased in size, will also charge quickly. However, the company did not share any information on this issue since there are seven years in between.
