AMSTERDAM - Stellantis N.V. (NYSE / MTA / Euronext Paris: STLA) and
AMSTERDAM - Stellantis N.V. (NYSE / MTA / Euronext Paris: STLA) and Factorial Energy (Factorial) announced today the signing of a joint development agreement to advance Factorial''s high-voltage traction solid-state battery technology. The agreement also includes a strategic investment from Stellantis.
"Our investment in Factorial and other highly recognized battery partners boosts the speed and agility needed to provide cutting-edge technology for our electric vehicle portfolio," said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. "Initiatives like these will yield a faster time to market and more cost-effective transition to solid-state technology."
Factorial has developed breakthrough solid-state technology that addresses key issues holding back wide-scale consumer adoption of electric vehicles: driving range and safety.
"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," said Siyu Huang, Co-founder and CEO of Factorial Energy. "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.
Stellantis is one of the world''s leading automakers and a mobility provider, guided by a clear vision: to offer freedom of movement with distinctive, affordable and reliable mobility solutions. In addition to the Company''s rich heritage and broad geographic presence, its greatest strengths lie in its sustainable performance, depth of experience and the wide-ranging talents of employees working around the globe. Stellantis will leverage its broad and iconic brand portfolio, which was founded by visionaries who infused the marques with passion and a competitive spirit that speaks to employees and customers alike. Stellantis aspires to become the greatest, not the biggest, while creating added value for all stakeholders, as well as the communities in which it operates.

Developed by a spin-off of Dutch research institute TNO, the battery is claimed to offer higher energy density, longer lifespan and increased safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. It will initially be applied in wearables and electric cars.
The battery type that LionVolt has developed is based on 3D technology and solid-state layers.

Dutch start-up LionVolt BV, a spin-off from the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), has announced it has secured €4 million from the development agency of the region of Brabant (the Brabantse Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij – BOM), in the Netherlands, and Amsterdam-based venture capital and growth equity firm Prime Ventures, through a funding round.
LionVolt said it will use the funds to develop its 3D solid-state thin-film battery technology, which it expects to apply initially in wearables and electric cars.
The battery is made with a foil covered with billions of pillars with thin layers of functional material that create a 3D structure with a very large surface area and very short distances between both battery electrodes. Through this architecture, the device''s lithium-ions have only a short distance to go through, and this, according to the manufacturer, reduces charging and discharging times.
LionVolt claims this approach enables the product to overcome two major hurdles to bring this technology to commercial production, which are the conformal coating of the full battery stack and the development of scalable manufacturing tools. The creation of the micropillar arrays is reportedly able to reduce the technological challenge of conformal coating, and the open and regular structure facilitates the deposition of consecutive layers.
The battery is claimed to offer higher energy density, a longer lifespan, and increased safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
The battery configuration is also said to be fully retrofittable into existing commercial formats and a production line can be set up in a very short time, according to the manufacturer, which said it wants to produce the new batteries in the Netherlands. “The BOM invests in LionVolt because the company has enormous potential,” said Jurgen van Eck, from the BOM. “Almost 80% of the supply chain the company needs to build a production line can be sourced locally.”
