German carmaker Mercedes-Benz claims to have become the first carmaker in the world to drive a car powered by a lithium-metal solid-state battery

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

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

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?

Mercedes-Benz has collaborated with Factorial Energy to develop a new solid-state battery test program, marking a significant advancement in electric vehicle technology. This initiative has led to the integration of a lithium-metal solid-state battery into a vehicle,

Lab testing of the EQS test vehicle shows that the solid-state battery provides up to 25% additional electric range. The post Road tests start on solid-state EV battery developed by Mercedes AMG and F1 engineers appeared first on The Manual.

Mercedes has begun testing an EQS equipped with a solid state battery. It provides 25% more range than a lithium-ion battery of the same size and weight. Solid state batteries offer higher energy densities and safety benefits over traditional batteries.
