Late to the electric vehicle race, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares bounded onstage Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show, the biggest tech event of the year, and boasted: In 2026, he said, Stellantis would produce a sleek new electric version of the popular Ram pickup truck. Among other bells and whistles, a breakthrough solid-state lithium-metal battery would power the electric Ram, delivering 30% greater energy density than today’s conventional batteries—enough to take the truck more than 500 miles on a charge.
But the battery Tavares described, developed by Factorial Energy, a startup based in Woburn, Mass., is not likely to be ready by then. In November, Factorial briefed me on its development of an EV-size 40 ampere-hour battery that was delivering fewer than half the 800 cycles of charging lifetime that automakers demand
I just came across this , heck if true one would have to buy a new battery every 5 years
