Very exciting if the technology truly pans out as advertised in the article. This would be the game changer EV needs to make the combustible engine irrelevant.
Only thing missing is an abundant supply of clean energy…
A $100m to grow….This is just exit liuidity for the initial investors
If this holds up and the price isn’t outrageous, EVs will become the definitive transportation choice. This won’t be the only market it disrupts. Solar power becomes far more functional when you can store days worth of energy for your home.
That ipo is just a cash grab. It will probably be sold to some OEM.
Let’s hope nothing “happens” to the inventor.
745 miles unloaded in summer
95 miles towing in winter
Quantumscape has spent at least 5 billion and 15 years to get to semi solid state. I think with the writing on the wall companies want to abandon the space with a bit in their pocket. Its funny how much garbage exists in the battery space
Exciting stuff, but remember, this is not the first Solid State battery company to go public, and the other two didn’t do so hot after struggling with mass production.
For years now, It hasn’t really been about whether Solid State batteries are viable. We know they are a sort of miracle breakthrough in battery technology.
What we’re all waiting for, is that one company which figures out how to mass produce them at scale. Nobody has been able to crack that egg yet.
Remember, you need nearly 100 of these things per car.
The trick is scalability. They are great at everything except being built. The ability to mass produce them has been the real hurdle so far.
Probably won’t be affordable anytime soon, but I like seeing this type of investment rather than the endless AI circlejerk type
That website and person was already not to be taken seriously. Now theyre adding pump and dumps to their noncredbible coverage.
Who has the name so we don’t waste time on a bs article written for clicks
Id like to read more about this range test mercedes.
Everything i know about solid-state batteries is that power density is dog shit, so im very curious how they are doing it differently.
Hopefully the answer isnt that they filled every square inch of the cabin and trunk with batteries…
Article could just name the fucking company in the first paragraph. Had to scroll past an ad to find out who it is.
Damn, I gotta get some cash to buy that stock
That site is cancer. So many ads.
Factorial Energy, based out of Billerica, MA
745 miles on a single charge is legitimately impressive, but the real test is whether they can actually mass produce these at a price point that makes sense. We’ve seen plenty of solid state battery breakthroughs in controlled tests that never scale, so 2027 feels optimistic even with Mercedes backing them
No wonder the silver price is dropping violently. They need the silver. Someone is manipulating it down so this technology can happen
> In September, a modified Mercedes-Benz EQS using Factorial’s solid-state battery drove more than 745 miles on public roads without stopping to recharge.
> And it still wasn’t empty.
I have to wonder how much further it could have gone. Hopefully they overcome ‚manufacturing hell‘ and are able to sell these packs to major brands. That range is sufficient to completely wipe out range anxiety for anything but large trucks (and even then a little bit further invalidates any complaints about towing range).
A SPAC in 2026 feels like a red flag right off the bat.
