Yu Wang in California, the company now operates research and development centers in China, Germany, and the United States. For more information, visit All USCAR Member companies have joined in becoming signatories of the Responsible Raw Materials Initiative (RRMI, now part of the Responsible Minerals Initiative, RMI) Declaration of Support.įarasis Energy is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance lithium-ion battery technology and pouch cells for electric mobility and other sustainable power storage solutions. The goal of USCAR is to further strengthen the technology base of the domestic auto industry through cooperative research and development. USCAR is the collaborative automotive technology company for Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Stellantis. “Programs like these are critical to advancing the technology needed to meet both near- and long-term goals that will enable broader scale vehicle electrification.” “The lithium electrode-based cell development contract award with Farasis Energy is part of USABC’s broad battery technology research and development program,” said Lyle Raines, USCAR Director of Operations. In support of its mission, USABC has developed mid- and long-term goals to guide its projects and measure its progress. Department of Energy (DOE), USABC’s mission is to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies that advance commercialization of next generation electrified vehicle applications. Enabled by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. USABC is a subsidiary of the United States Council for Automotive Research LLC (USCAR). This also means that ranges and fast charging capabilities will reach their limits, hence we are researching various chemistries to be able to go beyond these to achieve greater performance whilst maintaining highest safety standards and longevity.” “Lithium-ion battery technology will reach its limits in the next years when it comes to increasing energy density. Keith Kepler, CTO and co-founder of Farasis Energy. “This contract supports our company to develop the next generation of battery technologies and bring them to market faster”, says Dr. This is USABC’s fourth contract with Farasis Energy. The program goal is to develop a lithium metal-based anode with nickel-rich cathode and liquid electrolyte battery technology for EV application this is a possible alternative to lithium-ion technology. It is part of a larger effort to develop advanced battery technologies that can meet the growing demand for electric vehicles. The contract award, which includes a 50 percent cost share, funds a 24-month project. The program goal is to develop a lithium metal-based anode with nickel-rich cathode and liquid electrolyte battery technology for EV application. Hayward (California), J– The United States Advanced Battery Consortium LLC (USABC) earlier this year announced a $2.6 million contract to Farasis Energy USA in Hayward (California) to develop beyond lithium-ion battery technologies.
