Dodge Charger Daytona to have solid-state batteries by 2026
Stellantis and Factorial team up to add solid-state batteries to Dodge Charger Daytona. A fleet of prototypes will be built to test the batteries in real-life conditions. The automaker also opened an upgraded wind tunnel in Michigan that will help improve the aerodynamics of electric vehicles. Solid-state batteries are expected to revolutionize electric vehicles, and Stellantis announced that it will be installed in the Dodge Charger Daytona in 2026. Before you get too excited, though, these models will just make up a demo fleet. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The prototype will be equipped with Factorial solid-state batteries with an energy density of over 390 Wh/kg. The companies didn't reveal many other details but said the batteries offer "substantial advantages" over traditional lithium-ion batteries. These include “higher energy density, reduced weight, improved performance and the potential to further reduce total vehicle cost over…
Mercedes and Factorial jointly develop new solid-state battery
The battery company claims that OEMs could launch these innovative batteries by the end of the decade go through Brad Anderson September 11, 2024 16:30 The new battery remains stable at operating temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Celsius. Mercedes-Benz led a $200 million investment in Factorial in 2022. These lightweight batteries could allow Mercedes to replace expensive aluminum bodies with cheaper steel. Factorial has partnered with Mercedes-Benz to develop a new generation of solid-state batteries that promise to increase the range of electric vehicles by 80%. Developed by US-based Factorial, a partner of Mercedes-Benz since 2021, the cells offer an energy density of up to 450Wh/kg and feature a cutting-edge dry cathode design designed for increased production efficiency and sustainability. Factial believes this advanced solid-state technology will be ready for OEM integration by the end of the decade, laying the foundation for major advances in EV performance.

By 2025, the global solid-state battery market will exceed US$14.7 billion
this Global Solid-state battery market According to a research report by FBI & Consulting, the scale will grow from US$624.75 million in 2023 to US$16.88 billion in 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 41.5% between 2024 and 2032. Also Read: Largest Import Market for Cells and Batteries The solid-state battery market is a rapidly emerging and attractive sub-sector within the broader energy storage and electric vehicle (EV) business. Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes instead of the liquid or gel-like electrolytes used in typical lithium-ion batteries. In addition, consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops, and wearable devices also use solid-state batteries. These batteries are attractive for a variety of portable electronic devices because they can provide more power for a longer period of time while reducing the risk of overheating. The rise of the renewable energy industry has had a major impact on the solid-state battery business. Solid-state batteries have higher energy density, improved safety, and longer…
