Chrysler's Halcyon Concept EV Will Have Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
Chrysler recently announced its Halcyon Concept electric sedan, saying that it “incorporates 800-volt lithium-sulfur batteries.” The reason for this noted addition is that these batteries have roughly 60% less of a carbon footprint than any other battery. Lithium-sulfur batteries use sulfur as opposed to nickel, cobalt, or manganese among their metals, making them a preferred choice for many.
The Promise
Chrysler's announcement proudly stated, "Stellantis Ventures, the corporate venture fund of Stellantis, announced an investment in Lyten to accelerate the commercialization of Lyten 3D Graphene applications for the mobility industry." However, this would be a first if Chryler's vehicles were to contain these batteries, as no other car company has them on the road. That's not to say it's impossible, but it's unclear how the company will manage this unique feat.
