A Germany-based company, FEV, has teamed up with Taiwan’s ProLogium to create an impressive Large-Footprint Lithium Ceramic Battery (LLCB) for electric vehicles. This battery features an advanced anode made entirely of silicon composite material, which offers 10 times the capacity density of traditional graphite anodes.

 

The LLCB can provide a range of up to 625 miles (1,000 km), depending on the vehicle and usage. Its non-flammable solid-state electrolyte enhances safety by preventing thermal runaway and short circuits from leaking liquid electrolytes.

 

The silicon anode also enables ultra-fast charging. The battery can reach 60% charge in just five minutes, covering 300 km, and 80% in an additional three minutes. This drastically reduces charging time compared to current options.
