lika in the UK is leading a 16-month, £2.7m project to develop production tools for a high volume solid state battery (SSB) line for electric vehicles.
The SiSTEM project with the Mpac Group will see Ilika develop tools for a 1.5MWh SSB pilot line that can scale up to full production.
SiSTEM, announced yesterday as part of a major UK announcement, follows on from the successful BUS100 programme, which concluded that part of Ilika’s SSB process could in principle take place using some of the equipment used for lithium-ion batteries (LIB) manufacturing, such as that present at the UK Battery Innovation Centre (UKBIC).
Ilika plc (LON:IKA) is a pioneer in solid state battery technology enabling solutions for applications in Industrial IoT, MedTech, Electric Vehicles and Consumer Electronics.
