Factorial has developed breakthrough solid-state technology that addresses key issues holding back wide-scale consumer adoption of electric vehicles: driving range and safety.
Siyu Huang, Co-founder and CEO of Factorial Energy.
It is a great honor to partner with Stellantis, a leading global mobility player, which has some of the most iconic auto brands in the world.
“It is an incredible opportunity for us to advance the adoption of our clean, efficient and safe solid-state battery technology to the mass market.”
Stellantis announced during its EV Day program in July 2021 its target of having the first competitive solid state battery technology introduced by 2026.
Factorial’s advances are based on FEST™ (Factorial Electrolyte System Technology), which leverages a proprietary solid electrolyte material that enables safe and reliable cell performance with high-voltage and high-capacity electrodes and has been scaled in 40Ah cells that perform at room temperature.
FEST™ is safer than conventional lithium-ion technology, extends driving range, and is drop-in compatible for easy integration into existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing infrastructure.
