Two major milestones reached for Goliath solid state cells for EVs

In the past few weeks, Ilika are proud to have achieved two major technology achievements for their Goliath solid state technology for electric vehicles – D4 development point and lithium-ion parity. These achievements validate the technical approach taken by the company and support the justification for investment in a full-pilot facility configured to demonstrate that the technology can be licensed for third-party giga-scale implementation. Goliath cells have the potential to offer EV producers the benefits of solid state batteries’ improved safety, faster charging, longer lifespan, and greater temperature resilience, without the need to sacrifice size, space, or effective range.

The first announcement was the achievement of the D4 development point – a design-freeze milestone in the Goliath roadmap upon which Ilika’s first prototype for customer release, P1, is based. The P1 Goliath prototype is a solid state pouch cell with an NMC cathode and a silicon anode and is an intermediate milestone on Ilika’s roadmap to its minimum viable product (MVP) in 2025, effectively marking the start of Goliath’s productization journey.

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.
