Mercedes-Benz engineers have taken real-world innovation to the next level—driving a modified EQS equipped with a lithium-metal solid-state battery 1,205 km (749 mi) from Stuttgart to Malmö without a single recharge, and still having 137 km in reserve. This milestone demonstrates that solid-state battery technology, delivering 25% higher energy capacity than today’s packs, is ready for real-world validation—and possibly mass production by decade’s end.

BorgWarner has secured a new program for its electric cross differential (eXD) technology for a leading Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to be used in electric vehicles in China. As the electric vehicle market rapidly evolves, traditional powertrain technologies are transitioning towards advanced electrification solutions to meet increasing performance and safety demands. By dynamically controlling power distribution between the wheels, eXD improves handling and traction capabilities.

Verkor, PowerCo and ACC - Automotive Cells Company have joined forces to share this important statement.   Who will make our batteries? Europe's Moment of Truth – read the text now. 

🔋 Securing a sustainable battery value chain is critical for the energy transition! At Upcell, we support the growth of battery manufacturing in Europe and the role of public support in accelerating production, strengthening resilience, and ensuring fair competition globally.   ➡️ Batteries are strategic. The time to act is now.   #Batteries #EnergyTransition #CleanTech #Sustainability #Verkor #ACC #PowerCo

Reading this morning CEOs of European #Car Batteries calling for concrete action to build a new ecosystem to compete globally #industry #cars #automotive #batteries

🔋 Europe’s Battery Moment: Let’s Not Miss It! Batteries are no longer just a future technology, they are already central to the competitiveness of multiple industrial sectors, including automotive, machinery, energy, chemicals, and aerospace. Without domestic battery capabilities, Europe risks losing its foothold in strategic value chains. And European companies must climb the industrial learning curve, which is full of pitfalls and takes time. Establishing a functioning battery ecosystem is not a short-term endeavor, it requires a planning horizon of 15 to 20 years. Attempting to leapfrog ahead without a solid industrial foundation is unlikely to succeed. This is why Europe needs targeted and sustained public support. I therefore fully support the urgent call from Frank Blome (PowerCo), Benoit Lemaignan (Verkor), and Yann Vincent (ACC - Automotive Cells Company). Their message is clear: Europe must act now to secure its place in the global battery race! And finally, this is not about handouts - it’s about smart, performance-based support that delivers results. The proposed EU funding, €1B for ramp-up, €1.8B tied to output, and long-term support through 2030, is a strategic investment in Europe’s industrial future. It would enable 90 GWh of EU-made batteries by 2027, powering 1.2 million EVs and strengthening our supply chains.
