Hey K,
Production timelines provided direct from C4V website:
http://chargecccv.com/innovation#overview
My basic summary below
Gen1:
- Commercially ready for production in 2019
- Bio-Mineralised Lithium Metal Phosphate Chemistry for cathode
- Anode is graphite and silicon composite blend
- energy density 200Wh/kg and volumetric capacity 500Wh/L
Gen2:
- Implementation for volume manufacturing is expected by 2021
- Same BM-LMP cathode and graphite/silicon anode with further development of these
- focus of introducing a more thermally-stable electrolyte to enhance performance
- energy density 300Wh/kg and volumetric capacity 650Wh/L
Gen3:
- "We confidently project these unique batteries will be ready for volume manufacturing by 2025 along with a stable supply chain"
- semi-solid-state electrolyte replacing majority of liquid electrolyte with solid (website dictates 50% replacement, however recent announcement states greater than 80% acheived)
- "our initial tests from Generation 3 batteries demonstrate energy densities and volumetric capacities of 400Wh/kg and 800 Wh/L" (assumedly with 50/50 electrolyte split - recent announcement with 80% solid state has lesser performance results though expectations to increase with further research and development)
