The initiative marks the first road test of a lithium-metal solid-state battery integrated into a passenger vehicle.

A version of the Mercedes EQS is testing solid-state cells from Factorial teasing a 25% boost in energy density. Will it really deliver the 621-mile target?

The German automaker has unveiled that a prototype EQS, equipped with a solid-state battery developed in collaboration with US startup Factorial Energy, has begun real-world testi

The solid-state battery race has heated up, with Mercedes bringing on a road-going prototype in the form of the EQS sedan.
