More efficient cell packaging and reduced battery weight to reduce costs and battery emissions
Stellantis earlier this year invested in Silicon Valley company Lytten, which is developing lighter lithium-sulphur batteries. As well as reducing weight, these cut costs and carbon emissions by using less exotic materials than lithium ion batteries.
Curic also cited sodium ion batteries as another potential alternative. Sodium ion is touted as a much cheaper option and is being developed by Chinese battery makers such as CATL.saloon by Swiss bank UBS as part of a report in battery costs. The lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack in the standard 62kWh Seal accounted for 470kg of the car’s overall 1941kg weight.
