2 years sounds like a lot of time, but that could come down to the US DOT and their requirements/qualifications, and then on top of that, there maybe other qualification stamping/s required. Who knows, and that’s not a world I care to Rabbit hole down. It can get complicated and confusing. My work is already confusing enough.

UL and IEC has test procedures outlined for product requirements. The testing is very straight forward, and it could take 6months to a year to test 1 line of cells in that chemistry. AA’s Li(off brand) took 10mos for us to qualify. Where as AA’s Li Energizer took 6mos.

So as for Renault it’s hard to say what is going on there. If it were my guess an MOU is keeping the options open for better capabilities and technologies.
