OPmobility and ProLogium have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on solid-state EV battery packs. Their goal is to integrate ProLogium’s solid-state cells into battery modules and packs for electric vehicles.
The companies are focusing on developing a standardized battery module solution. This solution is intended for use by automakers on various electric vehicle platforms in the future. ProLogium will supply the solid-state cells, which OPmobility will then test. OPmobility will also handle the design, development, and manufacturing of the resulting battery modules.
Technical Validation of Entire Battery Architectures
In the industry, solid-state batteries are regarded as a potential key technology for future electric vehicles. The potential benefits include improved range, charging efficiency, and safety. However, achieving these characteristics in the vehicle does not depend solely on the cell. The integration of these components at the module and pack levels is also crucial.
This is precisely where the collaboration comes in. The two companies aim to investigate how the advantages of individual cells can be translated into concrete battery architectures. Their goal is to provide automakers with more reliable data on the performance of such systems. At the same time, they intend to accelerate the development of integrated solutions.
According to the companies, the memorandum of understanding aims to establish joint testing and engineering standards. The process will begin with performance tests and the development of battery modules. Subsequently, vehicle integration will be based on these results.
