ProLogium Technology premiered its 100% silicon composite anode battery at the 2024 Paris Motor Show. This cutting-edge battery technology, certified by TÜV Rheinland (Note 1), is also adopted in partnership with Germany’s FEV Group to develop a next-generation battery pack, showcasing ProLogium’s substantial progress in LCB commercialization and introducing an exciting new concept to the market.
The new battery system not only surpasses traditional lithium-ion batteries in energy density and charging efficiency but also addresses critical industry challenges. Its fast-charging capabilities help overcome the shortage of charging stations and improve the residual value of used vehicles. This debut marks ProLogium’s accelerated progress towards the commercialization of lithium ceramic batteries, reinforcing its role in shaping the future of the industry.
Revolutionary 100% Silicon Composite Anode: Breaking Industry Barriers and Driving Innovation
ProLogium Technology’s new 100% silicon composite anode significantly enhances energy density and fast-charging performance. The system achieves a volumetric energy density of 749 Wh/L and a gravimetric energy density of 321 Wh/kg, with projections to increase to 823 Wh/L and 355 Wh/kg by the end of 2024. Dr. Dmitry Belov, Chief Scientist of ProLogium Technology, stated: “Our new technology has broken through existing barriers. Since 2023, we’ve consistently outperformed our competitors, with the gap only growing larger, in both energy density and in fast-charging performance.”
Compared to mainstream LFP batteries (under 200 Wh/kg), and NCM batteries (200 to 300 Wh/kg), ProLogium’s LCB has already surpassed current lithium-ion batteries on the market, with the gap expected to widen by up to 77% by the end of the year. According to TÜV Rheinland test data, the battery charges from 5% to 60% in just 5 minutes and reach 80% in 8.5 minutes, an unmatched achievement in the competitive EV market. This advancement greatly reduces charging time and extends vehicle range, significantly enhancing overall performance.
Small Battery, Big Future: A Perfect Fusion of High Performance and Cost Efficiency
With its battery offering superior energy density and fast-charging capabilities, ProLogium has introduced the “Small Battery, Big Future” concept, which is set to revitalize the EV industry by offering a powerful blend of efficiency, performance, and sustainability.
With only 66% of the total energy capacity of current lithium-ion batteries (from 83 kWh to 55 kWh), ProLogium has cut vehicle weight by 300 kg, boosting both energy efficiency and driving range for an enhanced driving experience. This reduction in battery capacity also translates into lower carbon taxes and decreased initial vehicle costs.
Additionally, a 5-minute charge provides an approximate range of 300 kilometers, outpacing the industry’s 30-minute average. This ultra-fast charging reduces wait times by 83.3%, improving efficiency and turnover rates while addressing pressing challenges of limited charging stations and long wait times.
Beyond above advantages, ProLogium’s modular design allows for easier repairs and facilitates cell recycling, reducing maintenance costs and increasing the resale value of used electric vehicles. Together, these four features directly contribute to a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), offering consumers a more affordable and sustainable EV solution.
The “Small Battery, Big Future” concept effectively tackles industry dilemmas such as low EV residual values, the inability to replace individual cells but the entire pack, and the environmental impact of scrapped vehicles. It paves the way for a more sustainable and efficient future in electric mobility, while ensuring consumers enjoy a seamless transition with the next-generation batteries.
