The emerging battery technology promises longer range, faster charge speeds, and is production feasible. Mercedes-Benz is testing a prototype EQS electric sedan fitted with a semi-solid-state battery pack co-developed with its Formula 1 powertrain subsidiary,

German carmaker Mercedes-Benz claims to have become the first carmaker in the world to drive a car powered by a lithium-metal solid-state battery

Mercedes has begun testing an EQS equipped with a solid state battery. It provides 25% more range than a lithium-ion battery of the same size and weight. Solid state batteries offer higher energy densities and safety benefits over traditional batteries.

Mercedes is developing solid-state batteries with the aim of having the technology ready by the end of the decade.

While the solid state battery pack was developed and patented by Mercedes-Benz in collaboration with Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP), the battery cells were developed by Factorial Energy using a novel floating cell carrier.

Mercedes tests motorsport solid-state battery in a Mercedes-Benz EQS on the road. With the same weight and space requirement, the range increases to 1000 km.

A version of the Mercedes EQS is testing solid-state cells from Factorial teasing a 25% boost in energy density. Will it really deliver the 621-mile target?

The solid-state battery race has heated up, with Mercedes bringing on a road-going prototype in the form of the EQS sedan.

The German automaker has unveiled that a prototype EQS, equipped with a solid-state battery developed in collaboration with US startup Factorial Energy, has begun real-world testi
