Stellantis and Zeta Energy collaborate to develop Li-S batteries Insight


Last Update 06 December 2024

Stellantis has signed an agreement with US based Zeta Energy to develop cheap Lithium Sulfur batteries for EVs by 2030, as Li-S batteries would cost 50% less per kWh compared to LIB with the same energy potential. The batteries will be manufactured within existing Gigafactory technology, with entirely domestic supply chain. The aim is to develop lighter and cheaper batteries.

News Insights

The collaboration between Stellantis and Zeta Energy to develop lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is driven by the need to reduce the high cost of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, a major factor influencing the overall price of EVs. By using lithium-sulfur batteries, which do not rely on costly materials like nickel or cobalt, they offer a more affordable alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries while maintaining comparable energy potential. This innovation could lead to lighter, more efficient EVs, with faster charging speeds and improved range. The partnership aims to accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral mobility by 2038, making EVs more accessible and practical for a wider range of consumers. It also opens up new opportunities for manufacturing within existing gigafactory technology, boosting local economies by supporting domestic supply chains in Europe and North America. For countries like India, where the demand for affordable and efficient EVs is rapidly growing, this breakthrough could have significant implications. It could help reduce the cost of EVs, making them more accessible to the Indian market, while also creating opportunities for local manufacturing and supply chain growth. Ultimately, this collaboration will foster a more sustainable, accessible, and affordable transportation future globally, including in emerging markets like India, accelerating the adoption of high-performance electric vehicles.
