Ampere partners with Basquevolt to advance battery technology

Ampere, Renault's electric vehicle and software entity, has entered a joint development agreement with Spanish solid-state battery firm Basquevolt to accelerate the development and validation of lithium-metal batteries for future EVs. The lithium-metal battery technology developed by Basquevolt combines a polymer electrolyte with an advanced anode, which the company claims could enable more compact, lighter batteries with better thermal stability and fast-charging capabilities—key features for next-generation electric mobility. Ampere and Basquevolt aim to pave the way for the commercial deployment of this technology in electric vehicles
