Solid-state EV batteries are now being tested on the road in North America for the first time, promising longer range, faster charging, and lower costs.
Factorial, Stellantis test solid-state EV batteries in real life
Jeep maker Stellantis and US-based Factorial Energy officially began testing the advanced new battery tech on the road, marking the first time solid-state batteries have been integrated into an EV in North America.
Factorial’s FEST (Factorial Electrolyte System Technology) solid-state battery cells were used to power a Dodge Charger Daytona development vehicle.
The milestone comes after Stellantis and Factorial validated that 77Ah FEST cells achieved an energy density of 375 Wh/kg with over 600 cycles last April.
