24M emerges from stealth mode with new semi-solid Li-ion cell; <$100/kWh by 2020

Green Car Congress

Stealth-mode battery start-up 24M has introduced its new semi-solid lithium-ion cell. Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. The lithium-ion battery is a brilliant, enabling technology, but its economics are flawed.
