Ilika plc (LON:IKA), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, has announced that it has shipped its first batch of prototype Goliath batteries for customer testing by a tier 1 automotive company.
In May 2024, Ilika announced it had commenced in-house testing of its P1 Goliath prototype batteries in a customer-sponsored programme. Ilika has now shipped its first batch of P1 batteries to a customer for their external validation.
In November 2023, Ilika announced it had achieved its D4 development point, which is a design-freeze milestone in its Goliath roadmap upon which Ilika’s first prototype for customer release, P1, is based. The P1 prototype is an intermediate milestone on Ilika’s roadmap to its minimum viable product (“MVP”) in 2025. The P1 prototype is a solid-state pouch cell with an NMC cathode and a silicon anode.
