Factorial Energy

Cost is a key factor in making new energy technologies successful. As Autoweek highlights in the article below, solid-state batteries need to match the price of lithium-ion batteries to compete. For our solid-state batteries, that means lowering manufacturing costs and passing the savings on to automakers. Our FEST© cells are designed to work within existing lithium-ion production methods, allowing us to invest more in research and development. By simplifying battery design and reducing the need for additional structural supports, we can further lower weight and costs while maintaining safety and performance.
