Most EV batteries are heavy and provide limited range. But Factorial Energy is developing breakthrough solid-state solutions that offer longer range per charge and increased safety. .  With higher energy density—390 watt-hours per kilogram to be exact—Factorial’s solid-state batteries allow for less weight and extended EV range. And the company’s partnerships with major automakers like Stellantis and Mercedes are key in validating their proprietary technology and bringing it to market. . To learn more, Roberto Baldwin, Sustainability Editor, SAE Sustainable Mobility Solutions, sat down with Dr. Raimund Koerver, Senior Director and Head of Commercial at Factorial, to discuss the EV battery landscape and the company’s advancements in solid-state battery technology. .
