EV B-Samples Pass Industry Safety Test GB38031
Revenue Pipeline from AI-Accelerated Battery Material Discovery
AI, Energy, and Building an American Energy Storage Supply Chain
SES AI Corporation (“SES AI”) (NYSE: SES), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance Li-Metal batteries, today announced that it will present at its 4th annual Battery World on December 17, 2024.
During Battery World 2024, SES AI will be discussing several timely and transformative topics, including:
- AI-Accelerated Material Discovery: how accelerated computing can identify novel electrolytes to improve Li-Metal cycle life
- AI for Manufacturing and Safety: how AI can help improve manufacturing quality and vehicle safety
- Future of Mobility: how Li-Metal can achieve high safety and performance and fundamentally revolutionize the future of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and EV
“At Battery World 2024, we will discuss the continued growth of SES AI. I am proud of the significant growth SES AI has made since becoming the world’s first Li-Metal cell manufacturer to enter automotive A-sample and B-sample JDAs to having recently passed the GB38031-2020 global EV industry safety tests for its 100Ah Li-Metal cells, a major step towards C-samples and start-of-production for EV,” said Founder and CEO Qichao Hu.
“Over the last few months, we continue to expand our UAM (Urban Air Mobility) lines, completed Site Acceptance Test (SAT), and signed cell supply agreements including with SoftBank. Our ‘All-in on AI strategy’ continues to power our success and provide a pathway to commercialization with our first revenue using our AI-accelerated battery material discovery expected in 2025.”
Battery World 2024 will take place at the following times:
