Solid Power Inc. on Monday said it completed installation of its
electric-vehicle battery pilot production line designed to produce
EV-scale solid-state cells.
The company, which makes battery cells for electric vehicles,
has partnerships with BMW and Ford Motor.
Solid Power said it plans to produce silicon EV cells for
internal testing before delivering cells to its automotive partners
to begin automotive qualification testing, which is planned for the
end of the year. The cells are designed to power longer-range
electric vehicles.
"The installation of this EV cell pilot line will allow us to
produce EV-scale cells suitable for initiating the formal
automotive qualification process," Solid Power Chief Executive Doug
Campbell said.
When running at full capacity, Solid Power's EV cell pilot line
is expected to be capable of producing 300 cells per week, or
15,000 cells per year, with the majority of those planned for
automotive qualification testing.
