Battery that can power EVs more than 900km in a single full charge developed in labs in Germany

PORT MORESBY: In the global race to come up with the most efficient battery to power Electric Vehicles (EVs), a Swiss startup claims it has developed a non-flammable, lithium-based battery capable of offering cars over a 900km range.


The high-density Innolith Energy Battery uses an inorganic electrolyte to power the battery and is being developed in Innolith AG laboratories in Germany.

Innolith AG, a Swiss startup specialising in rechargeable inorganic battery technology, revealed that a non-flammable, lithium-based electric vehicle battery capable of offering cars over 900km range is in development at its German laboratories.

The key difference between the design of the high-density Innolith Energy Battery and that of more traditional batteries is that the Innolith iteration uses an inorganic electrolyte to power the battery instead of an organic one.

This option is non-flammable and helps “enable batteries to reach cell-level energy content values that have never been possible before". Tesla models are among the highest performing electric models on the market right now with some of the most impressive ranges; however, the Model S has a maximum range of 540km, the Model 3 has a range of 523km, and the Model X has a range of 474km.

Swapping out the Tesla battery for an Innolith Energy Battery could basically double the range of the whole lineup. The battery will be first brought to the German market through an initial pilot production, after which it will be available to licensing partners with battery and automotive companies.

Innolith AG expects the time it will take to bring the battery from idea to commercial product will be from three to five years. – AFP Relaxnews/The Star
