Solid-state batteries in Dodge Charger Daytona

Stellantis integrates Factorial solid-state batteries into demonstration fleet of all-new Dodge Charger Daytona. This marks the next chapter in the two companies' partnership to accelerate the development and deployment of promising solid-state battery technology in next-generation electric vehicles. The demonstration fleet will serve to validate Factorial's technology under real-world driving conditions.

Factorial will supply Stellantis with cells from its proprietary solid-state battery technology, which enables a specific energy density of more than 390 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg). Factorial's "FEST" technology thus offers significant advantages over conventional lithium-ion batteries such as higher energy density, lower weight, improved performance and the potential to reduce battery costs over time.

Stellantis has chosen the STLA Large Multi-Energy platform, designed for high-volume electric SUVs and performance vehicles, to test this innovative technology. The platform is a cornerstone of Stellantis' "Dare Forward 2030" strategic plan. It is designed to cover up to two million vehicles worldwide and will be used by brands such as Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo and Maserati. (aum)
