Starting in 2026, they\u2019ll begin rolling out a fleet of Chargers equipped with Factorial\u2019s solid-state <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/batteries\/\">batteries<\/a> to work out the kinks and fine-tune all the details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Milestone for Cell Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened with Stellantis is a very important milestone for cell performance validation,\u201d Factorial CEO Siyu Huang told <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autonews.com\/stellantis\/ane-eu-stellantis-factorial-solid-state-0514\/\">Autonews<\/a><\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about higher energy density, it\u2019s about cycle life, and about fast charging. Above all, this is the first full-blown validation that automakers have shared.\u201d The potential benefits are widespread and vital for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/electric-vehicles\/\">EV<\/a> movement.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, solid-state batteries offer faster charging speeds. The batteries that Dodge will test offer 375 watt-hours per kilogram, and can go from 15 percent to 90 percent full in just 18 minutes. In addition, they\u2019re more energy-dense. In practice, that means more range in a solid-state battery compared to a conventional one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lighter Batteries, More Range, and Cold Weather Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stellantis-Solid-State-Battery-Tech-424-2.webp\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Stellantis Takes Solid-State Batteries From Lab To Road In A Charger\" width=\"1762\" height=\"1048\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stellantis-Solid-State-Battery-Tech-424-2-1024x609.webp\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, an automaker could, in theory, offer a smaller, lighter battery while still offering the kind of range most EVs do today. Factorial says it\u2019s also made progress on cold-weather solid-state battery tech. Finally, they\u2019re safer too since they use a solid, non-flammable electrolyte. \u201cNot only can we deliver a strong performance at room temperature but also at temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius. We weren\u2019t able to do this until a few months\u2019 ago,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/05\/a-simple-button-sequence-could-save-your-charger-and-challenger-from-thieves\/\">A Simple Button Sequence Could Save Your Charger And Challenger From Thieves<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Notably, Factorial isn\u2019t working with Stellantis alone.
