Stellantis and Factorial Energy have announced the successful validation of Factorial’s automotive-size FEST (Factorial Electrolyte System Technology) solid-state battery cells. Solid-state batteries could offer higher energy density and faster charging than today’s lithium-ion batteries. The validated 77 Ah FEST cells demonstrated specific energy of 375 Wh/kg over 600 cycles, progressing towards automotive qualification. The cells deliver high power output with discharge rates up to 4C.
