Farasis offers battery cells with 25% higher energy density. Farasis has validated the performance of its 4th generation of EV battery cells with more than 330 Wh / kg or 750 Wh / l. This result is another milestone on Farasis’ technology roadmap with the aim of increasing the energy density of battery cells for electromobility by up to 50% compared to the current state of the art.
Farasis Energy is a global battery cell and system manufacturer that is a leader in the field of high-energy Li-ion batteries for electric vehicle applications. Farasis has been working on the development of innovative battery cell technologies for two decades and is therefore one of the technology leaders in the industry. With a focus on the development of high-energy battery cells for electric vehicles, Farasis enables its customers to achieve market-leading electrical ranges.
Thanks to its technological competence, Farasis has been able to acquire many key customers in recent years and at the same time establish close partnerships with leading car manufacturers in Asia and Europe. An installed capacity of 23 GWh / a was also achieved at the beginning of 2020.
“Farasis enables more than 25% increased range”
Farasis CTO, Dr. Keith Kepler commented on the milestone achieved as follows:
We are very pleased to be able to present the validated results of our development work over the past few years.
“Thanks to our competent research and development team, we are now able to offer our customers more than 25% To be able to offer increased energy density and, as a result, electrical range compared to the current state of the art with simultaneously reduced fast charging time of less than 20 minutes. Despite the significantly increased energy density in the last cell generations, we have managed to continuously increase the service life of the battery cells with the same charging rates.”
Dr. Yu Wang, CEO of Farasis Energy added,
This is another successful milestone along our demanding technology roadmap with the goal of offering our customers up to 50% increased electric range by the end of this decade.
“We believe it will that the electric range and the ability to charge quickly are the two key differentiating features in the premium BEV segment. Due to its strong technology portfolio and global manufacturing network, Farasis can offer the right solutions globally in order to be able to offer its customers technologically leading batteries worldwide. “
The key to enabling sustainable individual mobility for all applications
Together with an achievable battery life of up to over 1 million km and a global commitment to sustainability, Farasis is able to offer batteries for electric vehicles that now have a significantly improved ecological footprint, especially compared to internal combustion engines. In addition, the battery cell technologies from Farasis, which are still being developed, will completely forget any thoughts of range fears in the years to come.”
Stable performance in all environmental conditions
The new battery cell technology presented today does not only work in the laboratory. The holistic product development approach of Farasis Energy with a great focus on the optimization of chemical and product properties enables the 4th generation of battery cells to continue to provide a capacity of more than 90% even at temperatures of -20 ° C and thus an application of this technology in allowed in all regions.
Dr. Madhuri Thakur, Head of Farasis Cell Development in Hayward, CA added
We can draw on decades of experience in Li-Ion battery cell development, cross-functional research and detailed simulation models.
“Together with our global team on three continents, we are able to do ours to implement new technologies ahead of our original roadmap. “
Farasi’s development team enables cell-level improvements to be translated into real reach
In order to use the full potential of the 4th generation of battery cells, Farasis has set up so-called application engineering centers in Asia, Europe and the USA, which support customers in converting the 25% increased energy density into electric range.
André Gronke, Head of Global Development, added
Our data-driven approach to battery development ensures maximum energy density under all operating conditions at the module and pack level.
“Together with our customers, we select the ideal integration strategy for the cells in the vehicle from our modular technology and go at the same time significantly further than cell-to-pack.”
