Enevate, a battery innovation company that enables extreme fast charge and high energy density battery technologies for electric vehicles (EVs) and other markets, has announced a production license agreement with CustomCells to commercialize and scale-up Enevate's silicon-dominant XFC-Energy® battery technology for transportation, mobility, and other product applications.

CustomCells, a German battery cell manufacturer, is an innovation driver in the development and manufacturing of application-specific battery cells. The company is a key enabler in the mobility sector, supplying six of the world’s ten largest automakers and six of the top 10 German automotive suppliers. CustomCells has plans to manufacture at multiple sites globally in GWh capacity for a variety of applications in the coming years. Based on flexible manufacturing concepts and state-of-the-art research and production facilities, CustomCells provides high-tech battery solutions customized to the customer, as per business wire.

This manufacturing licensing deal with CustomCells is the next critical step in bringing Enevate's technology to market. CustomCells has developed cells using Enevate silicon-dominant cell technology, and the two businesses have held cooperative commercial conversations with prominent e-mobility OEMs.

Enevate's breakthrough silicon-dominant battery technology charges up to ten times faster than conventional lithium-ion batteries while allowing for high energy densities and a variety of other benefits such as improved safety, low cost, low-temperature operation for cold climates, and a lower carbon footprint. Enevate's technique is compatible with cutting-edge battery manufacturing equipment and does not necessitate pre-lithiation or new capital-intensive manufacturing methods.

“Combining CustomCells' world-class manufacturing capabilities with Enevate’s ultra-high-performance battery cell chemistry will enable our companies to jointly grow in multiple key mobility market segments. This license agreement is an important milestone for CustomCells to accelerate the industrialization of this high-silicon anode technology,” said Dirk Abendroth, CustomCells CEO.
