United States: Solid Power, have raised $20 million from the giant companies like Samsung, A123 Systems, and Hyundai Cradle. This startup has a working prototype of an all-solid-state, rechargeable, lithium-metal battery, which could be the future of batteries used in consumer electronics as well as electric vehicles.

Solid Power is positioning its innovation as a competitor to the lithium-ion batteries that have dominated the energy-storage industry. Supporters say elective battery advances might be more secure and can pack more vitality than lithium ion, however suppliers have attempted to progress from small-scale demonstrations to high-volume production.

Strong Power hopes to finish development this year and it will be completely operational in 2019. The site will have the capacity to create batteries with around 10 megawatt-long periods of limit a year. The company’s CEO mentioned that is sufficiently huge for potential clients to approve the organization's innovation.

Once the assembling plant is up and running, Solid Power has secured contracts with organizations in the pharma, defense, and oil and gas divisions to test batteries for various applications. If those tests are effective, it would like to be in business items inside year and a half. Moreover, the CEO of the company said that the income from such applications will be utilized to additionally change and scale up its innovation in the desire for winning the big prize of turning into a battery for electric vehicles. The startup as of now has an organization with BMW to create and test its technology.

The cash Solid Power has raised will be used to build a small manufacturing setup in Louisville, Colorado.
