Stellantis is not only opening a new battery development facility, but it is also aiming for an ambitious goal: 50% weight reduction with the same energy stored.
A few days ago, Stellantis marked the opening of its inaugural Battery Technology Center at the Mirafiori complex in Turin, Italy.
“We are in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine mobility, providing smart and sustainable solutions for our customers,” said Ned Curic, Stellantis Chief Engineering and Technology Officer. “Our new Battery Technology Center at Mirafiori brings together the tools and talented people we need to design, test, verify and produce class-leading products that will meet our customers’ needs and accelerate bringing class-leading electric vehicles to customers around the world.
The technology center is designed to accommodate future growth, with a power system capable of managing up to 1.2 kilovolts and 2.2 megawatts per test cell. With eight cell chambers, it has the capacity to test 96 cells simultaneously. This section of the technology center will primarily focus on screening innovative battery chemistry and characterizing cell behavior for future development.
But, the company’s tech chief says they aren’t really sure exactly how they’ll achieve the goal. They plan to try different cell chemistries, new materials, and anything else that they think might work, and do it all in their new facility. I can’t speak for what Toyota’s people are thinking internally or saying to each other internally, but it leads many EV fans and people concerned about climate change to believe that Toyota is just using the announcements as a way to kick the can down the road when it could be doing better today.
