Mullen Automotive announced on Tuesday that Battery Innovation Center (BIC) in Indiana has completed the cell preconditioning in preparation for cell performance cycling. BIC will enter into high rate cycling as part of the performance-based cycling with those results forthcoming, the company added.

“I am pleased with the initial preconditioning results on our solid-state polymer battery cell and we’re progressing to the next stage of testing with BIC,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “The battery has performed well and I’m looking forward to see finalized testing results from BIC later this month.”

It is expected that this technology, when scaled to the vehicle pack level, will deliver a 150-kilowatt hour, solid-state battery able to deliver over 600 miles of range on a full charge for the Mullen FIVE EV Crossover. In general, solid-state batteries offer higher energy density, faster charging time, smaller size and safety compared to traditional lithium-ion cells.

“We are in process with Mullen’s cell and are looking forward to continued testing with final results due later this month,” said Ben Wrightsman from Battery Innovation Center.

The Battery Innovation Center will continue to perform the following tests on Mullen’s solid-state polymer battery, with final results expected in late May 2022.
