Mercedes has received the new-generation solid-state battery prototypes with a capacity of 106 Ah from Factorial Energy. These batteries are an improved version of the previously sent 100 Ah capacity samples. So, what capabilities do these ambitious batteries have? Here are the details…
Mercedes received future solid-state batteries from Factorial Energy! Here are the features
Factorial Energy is an American company making significant strides in solid-state batteries. These batteries are safer and offer much higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Factorial has achieved an energy density of 391 Wh/kg with its FEST (Factorial Electrolyte System Technology). This means a significant range increase for electric vehicles.
Mercedes has finally received the new-generation solid-state battery prototypes with a capacity of 106 Ah from Factorial Energy. Previously, 100 Ah capacity samples were sent. These are slightly improved versions. Mercedes will integrate these batteries into its battery modules and test whether they meet the stringent technical and performance requirements.
Mercedes’ CTO Markus Schäfer stated that this collaboration is an important part of the brand’s strategy to be a leader in innovative battery technologies. Factorial Energy’s CEO Siyu Huang expressed great excitement about working with a global automotive leader like Mercedes. The company also noted that existing electric vehicle battery production equipment could be used for manufacturing these batteries.
In other words, without needing significant changes in production facilities, it will be possible to quickly move to the production of solid-state batteries. This offers a great advantage in terms of cost and time. These solid-state batteries can meet the expectations of electric vehicle users by offering longer range, shorter charging times, and safer use.
