Solid-state EV batteries hit the road in North America for first real-world test

Stellantis and Factorial Energy have begun real-world road testing of FEST solid-state battery cells in a Dodge Charger Daytona development vehicle on North American roads, marking the first on-road use of this tech in the region. The FEST cells deliver about 375 Wh/kg energy density with over 600 cycles, enable ultra-fast charging (15%–90% in 18 minutes), and operate across a wide temperature range (-30°C to 45°C). The test integrates FEST into Stellantis’ STLA Large platform with updated control systems and pack design, signaling a major step toward commercialization of solid-state EV batteries.

Factorial Energy debuts on Nasdaq after 745-mile solid-state breakthrough

Factorial Energy, a U.S. solid-state battery developer, goes public on Nasdaq via a SPAC merger with Cartesian Growth Corp III in a deal valued at about $1.3 billion with roughly $110 million in gross proceeds. The listing follows Mercedes-Benz’s test showing Factorial’s solid-state cells can enable about 745 miles (1,205 km) on a single charge in an EQS, and Factorial claims higher energy density, faster charging, and lighter packs. The company has partnerships with Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, and Stellantis, and aims to commercialize solid-state batteries for EVs by 2027 while pursuing defense, aerospace, and robotics applications.

"Harvard's Game-Changing Solid State Battery Charges in Minutes and Lasts for Decades"

Harvard University researchers have developed a new solid-state battery that can be recharged in 10 minutes and can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times, outperforming other pouch cell batteries. The battery uses micron-sized silicon particles in the anode to prevent the formation of dendrites, allowing for quick plating and stripping and enabling fast recharging. The technology has been licensed to Adden Energy, a Harvard spinoff company, and could be a game-changer for electric vehicles if mass-produced at a lower price than lithium-ion batteries.

"Rapid-Charging Solid State Battery Revolutionizes Energy Storage"

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times, lasting for thousands of cycles and recharging in minutes. The battery design utilizes micron-sized silicon particles in the anode to constrict the lithiation reaction and facilitate homogeneous plating of a thick layer of lithium metal, preventing the formation of dendrites. This breakthrough offers new understanding into the materials used for solid state batteries and paves the way for more practical applications in industrial and commercial settings.

"NASA's Breakthrough: Revolutionary Lithium Replacement Boosts Battery Energy by Double or Triple"

NASA researchers at the Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety (SABERS) have developed a high-performing solid-state battery that could potentially power electric aircraft more efficiently than lithium-ion batteries. The new battery design eliminates 30 to 40 percent of the weight of traditional batteries and can double or even triple the energy storage capacity. Solid-state batteries are lighter, safer, and can operate in higher temperatures than lithium-ion batteries. While not yet commercially viable, this battery technology has attracted interest from the U.S. government and the aviation industry as a promising solution to reduce air pollution from air travel.
