Ampere, the electric vehicle division of Renault Group, has entered a Joint Development Agreement with Basquevolt to expedite the development of lithium metal batteries for next-generation electric vehicles. This collaboration aims to enhance energy density compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Basquevolt's design combines a polymer electrolyte with an advanced anode to achieve lighter, more compact battery packs with improved thermal stability and faster charging. Promising results from over a year of collaboration suggest lower capital investment and energy consumption in production, crucial for scaling battery manufacturing in Europe. The partnership reinforces Ampere's strategy for innovation and offers Basquevolt a pathway to automotive-grade validation.
