Factorial Energy says its new factory in Massachusetts brings it one step closer to production of solid-state batteries.
is probably the first company that comes to mind. But Factorial Energy has also been pursuing the solid-state battery dream. This week, it announced the opening of its first commercial scale battery factory in Massachusetts, just south of the New Hampshire border.
In a press release, Factorial Energy CEO Siyu Huang said, “We are thrilled to open our next generation battery facility in Massachusetts as we scale our batteries for mass production. This facility will enable us to manufacture cells to meet the needs of our automotive partners and progress our mission to commercialize solid state batteries. As a U.S.
Factorial’s proprietary FEST quasi-solid-state batteries are designed for higher energy density and safety compared to lithium-ion batteries. As Factorial Energy scales up solid-state battery production, the company will continue its commitment to drive sustainability and develop technologies to power the EV revolution., Factorial Energy lays out the challenges inherent in developing new battery technologies.
In B-Sample testing, the prototype batteries are tested at the cell and module level to optimize their design and to verify their performance in packs and vehicles. Manufacturers and the battery partner can agree to freeze the batteries’ physical design and chemistry and then move to the next phase of development.
Every step of the testing and development process can take several years for the battery to meet rigorous industry standards, guidelines, and regulations from authorities including the International Electrotechnical Commission and the U.N. During the development process, companies are limited to small scale production and have to establish a new supply chain and manufacturing infrastructures.
“Commercializing solid-state batteries requires innovation, collaboration, and perseverance. We’re eager to realize the potential of reliable, powerful, affordable solid-state batteries to potentially transform the EV industry. With continued investment and innovation alongside our top tier automotive partners, we believe future solid-state batteries will fast-track a new norm of clean, sustainable, electrified transportation.
