Stellantis said Thursday that it has invested in U.S. startup
Lyten to accelerate the commercialization of its technology for
electric-vehicle batteries and other applications.
The Netherlands-headquartered car maker said the Silicon Valley
company's graphene technology has applications for lithium-sulfur
EV batteries, a potential alternative to the traditional
lithium-ion batteries that doesn't use nickel, cobalt or
manganese.
Lithium-sulfur batteries could deliver more than twice the
energy density of lithium-ion batteries with a 60% lower carbon
footprint than today's best batteries, Stellantis said.
"This technology will meet the needs of industries seeking
lightweight and energy-dense batteries that are free from
supply-chain disruptions," Stellantis said.
Stellantis didn't disclose the size of the investment, which was
made through its venture fund.
