Superlattice Power Incorporated, a groundbreaking company in the field of lithium-powered batteries, is working with Hybrid Technologies to develop batteries for the Progressive X-Prize competition vehicle entry. The partnership between the two companies is longstanding, and makes sense because of the relative nature of the electric vehicle industries. The two companies have vertically integrated their teams and even share space in the same building.
The plan for the partnership to develop the batteries and vehicle for the X-prize contest entry has been rolling smoothly for the past few months. Initially the companies mapped out a twelve-month program, agreeing on deadlines and timeframes at each step of the process. Since the program’s inception, Superlattice Power has synthesized multiple cathode materials and has began to mass produce the most successful and powerful forms.
Hybrid Technologies has been able to incorporate the new batteries from Superlattice Power into their existing, newly designed supercar, the Liv INIZIO. Several industry experts believe that the collaboration between the two companies is an early front runner to win the X-prize. The $10 million prize will go a long way towards helping the ongoing research and development efforts of both companies, and help to bring products from the design table to the market.
