Goliath represents Ilika's solid state battery technology aimed at revolutionizing the electric vehicle market. These batteries employ an oxide solid electrolyte and a silicon anode, making them a safer alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Goliath batteries boast a higher operating temperature range, which simplifies battery management systems and offers a lighter, more energy-dense solution for vehicles. The result is an extended driving range and faster recharge times, pushing the envelope in the competitive field of electric mobility.
The development of these batteries involves collaborations with key industry partners, aiming to scale from pilot-level to giga-scale production. Through partnerships such as those with Comau and UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), Ilika is validating and perfecting the manufacturing processes needed for large-scale deployment. This collaborative spirit ensures that Goliath batteries not only meet but exceed the performance expectations of modern electric vehicles.
Ilika's integration of Goliath into the automotive sector is further bolstered by their Lead Partner Program, inviting Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to engage deeply with the ongoing advancements. Early insights and access to prototypes allow partners to influence development directly, highlighting Ilika's commitment to a customer-focused approach in bringing revolutionary battery technologies to market.
