Explore challenges in developing solid-state batteries for EVs, including solid electrolyte stability, lithium dendrites, and scalability.

Mercedes-Benz and U.S. battery startup Factorial are working on a solid-state battery that should dramatically increase electric vehicle range and be ready for production by the end of the decade, the companies said on Tuesday.

Mercedes is getting new all-solid-state EV batteries for its next-gen models. Developed with Factorial, its new all-solid-state battery “breakthrough”

Mercedes and Factorial on Tuesday jointly announced they are working on a solid-state battery that they expect to be in production by the end of the decade. Known as Solstice, the battery has an energy density of 0.

Mercedes-Benz has been collaborating with a company called Factorial Energy and together, they’ve refined the Solstice. And the Solstice will help Mercedes-Benz in its aims to have solid-state batteries in its cars by 2030.
