FORSEE POWER By partnering with QuantumScape, Volkswagen has, for example, invested heavily in solid state battery technology for its passenger cars, aiming for production in 2025.
This technology is also used in the small BlueCar city cars, which have limited speed and a short range. Other automotive groups are working on its development, such as Ford, BMW and Volta Energy, which have invested in Solid Power, a solid-state cell manufacturer. The company has raised $135 million in 2021 to develop its own solid-state battery model for the energy transition of electric vehicles. Factorial, meanwhile, has raised $200 million in 2022.
For the moment, these types of cells are mainly envisaged for light vehicles or vehicles with a short range such as passenger cars or light inter-urban vehicles (industrial vehicles, last-mile delivery, etc.) Toyota has announced that its first electric vehicles incorporating solid-state batteries will go on sale in 2025.
