ARISE addresses the urgent need for advanced, cost-effective, and modular battery integration solutions to support the next generation of electric vehicles. Aligned with the Horizon Europe 2ZERO Partnership objectives, the project focuses on leveraging Gen-4 solid-state LFP cells to enhance energy density, fast-charging capabilities, and vehicle integration efficiency.
ARISE’s main goal is to develop a range of innovative integration approaches for LFP SSB gen-4 cells, from ABEE into a Fiat 500e city car from Stellantis using a cell-to-chassis concept design with expandable modules that will achieve:
• A gravimetric energy density of the integrated fixed pack excluding contributions by cell chemistry of ~184.6 Wh/kg and including the cell chemistry ~369.2 Wh/kg. (see section 2.1.1, EO3)
• A volumetric energy density of the integrated pack of ~400 Wh/L. (see section 2.1.1, EO3)
• A battery system cost considering the functionalities of the EV structure of ~€100/kWh (see section 2.1.1, EO4)
Objectives:
1- To develop an innovative cell – chassis design concept that has the potential to have a gravimetric energy density of ~184.6 Wh/kg
2- To design and develop a smart thermal management system for Gen4 solid-state cells
3- To develop a battery management system for Gen4 solid state cells that is based on SMART principles and is energy efficient
4- To perform physical prototyping and virtual vehicle size validation
5- To conduct eco-design, life cycle assessment (LCA), and techno-economic analysis (TEA), including social aspects
