24M's Revolutionary 'Electrode-to-Pack' Battery Promises 50% More EV Range
24M Technologies has developed a revolutionary battery system, 'Electrode-to-Pack' (ETOP), offering unmatched energy density and flexibility. Prototypes are currently being tested, with production expected after 2027.
The ETOP system encases electrodes in a thin polymer film, integrating them directly into the battery pack. This design eliminates inactive materials found in conventional car batteries, boosting energy density. The polymer-based cells are form-flexible, allowing batteries to be shaped to fit various applications.
Initial interest comes from the automotive industry, with potential commercial deployment in aerospace and energy storage sectors sooner due to shorter qualification times. Despite no public automaker announcements, prototypes are in testing phase, with commercial use expected after 2028. Setting up ETOP production lines is significantly cheaper than conventional approaches, requiring only modest investments for integration into existing processes.
The ETOP system promises up to 50 percent increased EV range without size changes, with around 80 percent of battery volume consisting of batteries. With production starting as early as 2027, this technology could significantly impact the electric vehicle market and beyond.
