ACC and ProLogium sign a MoU to accelerate solid-state EV batteries

18 October 2022, 06:34:12

Automotive Cells Company and ProLogium Technology have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to join forces in a new strategic partnership. Under the MOU, ACC and ProLogium will focus their joint efforts on collaboration for solid-state EV battery development. Both companies are leveraging their own expertise to jointly develop state-of-the-art EV solutions based on solid-state battery: the battery technology considered the most promising in terms of safety, energy density, hyper fast-charging capability, recyclability, weight optimization, costs, & lifetime.

Earlier this year, ACC confirmed the construction of its first gigafactory in Billy-Berclau (Hauts-de-France) with the aim of achieving an installed capacity of 120 GWh in Europe by 2030. ProLogium has also confirmed the search for its first overseas gigafactory site for next-generation solid-state batteries in Asia, Europe, or USA in light of the exponential growth in demand for electric vehicles over the next decade. The battery maker has been in discussion with multiple agencies in these regions.
