Mercedes plans to begin using Sila's cells mid-decade for an extended-range version of the G-Class EV.
Mercedes' electric G-Class will use a new battery chemistry from American firm Sila, the automaker confirmed Tuesday in a press release.
Founded in 2011, Sila has developed a high-silicon anode material the company claims can boost energy density by 20% to 40% over current lithium-ion battery chemistries, to more than 800 wh/l at the cell level. Increased energy density means more energy can be stored in a given space, allowing for more range without increasing the size of the battery pack.Mercedes, which invested in Sila in 2019, plans to begin using the company's cells mid-decade for an extended-range version of the G-Class EV. Cells will be manufactured at a Washington State factory using 100% renewable energy, the companies claim.
Mercedes is the first publicly announced automotive customer for the factory, and plans to expand use of the new cells to other models after their debut in the G-Class.
