RE:RE:Solid Power using Silicon, Ford, BMW pilot projectaerialview wrote: Nowhere in that article does it say they will make batteries using silicon powder. So how does this benefit us? Answer...it doesn't. In fact this the competition...moving much more rapidly than our little gem atm...we gotta get samples out and tested start signing some contracts or we are toast, imo. This industry is not 'WAITING' for HPQ...there are other options, don't get single minded... we better get some serious news and SOON...

Solid Power’s Silicon EV Cells are designed to power longer-range, lower-cost and safer electric vehicles.
By using over 50% active silicon in the anode, Solid Power has designed the cell for increased energy density, which is expected to correlate to longer driving ranges to address range anxiety – a key barrier to mass EV adoption.
“With the EV cell pilot line now installed, our next big challenge is commencing production at scale and building cells that meet the requirements necessary for us to enter into automotive qualification later this year,” said Derek Johnson, Chief Operating Officer at Solid Power.
Solid Power expects to be able to optimize its Silicon EV Cells for capacities ranging from 60 to 100 Ah. The company expects this flexibility to allow Solid Power to meet its automotive partners’ specifications, while allowing for additional partners with distinct design specifications.
Long and strong HPQ!!!
