After one year of design and development, Slovakia-based InoBat Auto unveiled its Gen1 lithium battery, reportedly the first electric vehicle (EV) battery designed with both artificial intelligence and high-throughput technology.

The battery is engineered to deliver a 20% boost in range for current best-in-class EVs. The production method based on high nickel, low cobalt concentration chemistries allows for high power, energy density and battery lifeThe intelligent battery provides a 20% boost in operational range for current best-in-class EVs.

Production of the first intelligent battery iteration, designed to provide an energy density of 265 Wh/kg , is scheduled for the end of 2021. Density will increase to 298 Wh/kg by mid-2022 and battery cells with 330 to 350 Wh/kg and 1,000 Wh/l will be available by the end of 2023. A longer-term goal is to remove nickel from batteries and advance anode technology development to achieve a target 500 Wh/kg.

The company also plans to build a 10 GWh gigafactory to supply advanced EV battery customization for 240,000 EVs annually by 2025.
