Which company supplies lithium batteries for BMW?

Universal A123 systems inc., as an advanced lithium battery and the system developer and manufacturer of products, today announced the investment in the ionic materials companies in the United States. Ionic materials co., LTD. Is a new materials technology company, the company developed a special polymer electrolyte. It can be a new solid state battery safety and improve work performance to a whole new level. The investment is A123 has completed the latest step in a series of strategic investment. The aim is to speed up the pace of development in the field of the next generation of batteries.

A123 will work closely with ionic materials, the use of their respective on materials, batteries, design and manufacture of innovative, in order to enhance the use of high-performance batteries in electric vehicle safety.A123 can expect on its new product commercialization ion polymer electrolyte materials company technology, in order to fully developing the company's battery product portfolio.This investment is further evidence that the A123 the promise of innovation in the field of energy storage technology, and the new technology can increase the electric car mileage at the same time, reduce the cost of battery.

Ion of the breakthrough in the field of solid polymer electrolyte materials company, makes the solid-state batteries have made obvious progress in terms of working temperature, and this is the technology used in car project on a critical challenge.The material chemical compatibility with multi electrode, provides a possible, use ratio can battery materials in general ratio can battery materials in use of flammable electrolytes is too volatile.Cooperation between both sides expect their development can produce as early as possible in the next decade to market a new type of battery.

Ion MikeZimmerman materials of the company's founder and chief executive, said "we're very excited that can cooperate with A123, their scientific research ability and the relationship with the auto industry can globally, to speed up the use of this technology in electric cars."A123's chief technology officer pat thinks, "we can see the future is coming towards us fast, and is also very eager to lead the solid-state batteries fall to the ground and in the world's leading car makers."

BMW group announced that it will cooperate with solid power companies in the United States, to develop a new generation of solid-state batteries of electric vehicle technology, in order to achieve high performance of electric cars required level and requirements.

Solid power company was founded in 2012, is located in Colorado, focusing on the development and expanding competitive solid-state batteries, especially pay attention to safety, performance and cost of the battery.Through a series of technology and materials on the upgrade and improve, solid state power company has realized the breakthrough, created a capacity of two to three times higher than traditional lithium-ion solid-state batteries.The technology can provide higher for the BMW group's electric car range, longer service life and high temperature solid-state batteries.It is understood that BMW will be the xEV topped with solid-state batteries.BMW and solid dynamics cooperation, will promote the development of the xEV battery.
