Lab testing of the EQS test vehicle shows that the solid-state battery provides up to 25% additional electric range. The post Road tests start on solid-state EV battery developed by Mercedes AMG and F1 engineers appeared first on The Manual.

Mercedes-Benz engineers from the road and racetrack and Factorial cell engineers have worked together on delivering an all-new solid-state battery test program, which has brought the first car powered by a lithium-metal solid-state battery to the road.

Mercedes-Benz integrated the solid-state battery, with cells from U.S.-based solid-state battery leader Factorial Energy, into a slightly modified EQS.

Mercedes-Benz and Formula 1 engineers begin road tests of a new solid-state battery, enhancing electric vehicle range and efficiency.

With a suave blend of cutting-edge innovation and the speed-hungry expertise of Formula 1 engineers, Mercedes-Benz is launching a new era in electric mobili

Mercedes-Benz has announced the start of road tests for a solid-state battery in a modified EQS sedan marks a significant step in EV technology, but it also reignites debates about the long-promised potential of solid-state batteries.
