Factorial Energy, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle market with their new solid-state battery, Solstice. Expected to hit the market by the end of the decade, this cutting-edge technology promises to significantly enhance EV performance and efficiency.

Key Details:

• Energy Density: The Solstice battery boasts an impressive energy density of up to 450Wh/kg, which could increase electric vehicle range by up to 80%.

• Efficiency: The new battery design aims to reduce vehicle weight and improve overall efficiency.

• Dry Cathode Design: Solstice incorporates a dry cathode design for more efficient, sustainable production. This innovation could lower operating costs, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact.

Sulphide-Based Solid Electrolyte: This feature ensures stability at temperatures exceeding 90°C, potentially decreasing the cooling system requirements and reducing vehicle costs.

• Dual Sector Application: Besides automotive use, Factorial plans to introduce Solstice into the consumer electronics sector.

Mercedes-Benz plays a crucial role as both a development partner and a key customer.
