Stellantis has renewed its relationship with France’s research institution CEA to work on an in-house design for next-generation battery cells. The end goal is more affordable and sustainable electric cars; the method is a multiple year R&D program on battery cells.
CEA has over 25 years of experience in lithium-ion batteries; Stellantis has worked with them for 20 years on other projects, including fuel cells and battery modeling.
The CEA is a government-funded agency which conducts research in a variety of fields; founded by Charles de Gaulle as the Atomic Energy Commission, the CEA is currently the Commission for Atomic and Alternative Energies. It works in defense, information technology, and health as well as energy, and has a roughly $6 billion budget. Its 2010 name change did not alter its acronym.

After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
