Strong Energy (Nasdaq: SLDP), a developer of all-solid-state battery cells for EVs, has accomplished set up of a pilot manufacturing line designed to provide EV-scale solid-state cells.
The corporate intends to provide its Silicon EV Cells, which use over 50% energetic silicon within the anode, for inside testing earlier than delivering them to its automotive companions BMW and Ford for automotive qualification testing, which is deliberate for the top of the yr.
Strong Energy’s EV cell pilot line is designed to provide large-format sulfide-based cells in a way that mimics current lithium-ion manufacturing processes. When working at full capability, the road is anticipated to be able to producing 300 cells per week, or roughly 15,000 cells per yr.
Strong Energy expects to have the ability to optimize its Silicon EV Cells for capacities starting from 60 to 100 Ah. This flexibility will enable the corporate to satisfy its automotive companions’ specs, whereas permitting for added companions with distinct design specs.
“The set up of this EV cell pilot line will enable us to provide EV-scale cells appropriate for initiating the formal automotive qualification course of,” mentioned Strong Energy CEO Doug Campbell. “Over the approaching quarters, we’ll work to convey the pilot line as much as its full operational functionality, and look ahead to delivering EV-scale all-solid-state cells to our companions later this yr.”
