Sila’s high-silicon anode material will be used to increase the energy density of Mercedes’s batteries without compromising performance. The German auto maker expects Sila’s technology to enable a 20-40% increase in energy density, compared to the currently available cells with a comparable format, reaching more than 800Wh/l at cell level.
Sila的高硅阳极材料将用于提高梅赛德斯电池的能量密度，而不会影响性能。这家德国汽车制造商预计，与目前同类电池相比，Sila的技术可以使能量密度增加20-40%，在电池水平上达到800Wh/l以上。
“Sila has come a long way since we established a strategic partnership in 2019,” Markus Schäfer, member of the board of management at Mercedes-Benz Group, CTO, responsible for development and procurement. “They have been proving their ability to not only deliver scientific innovation at the highest level, but also their ability to manufacture high quality material.
梅赛德斯-奔驰集团管理董事会成员、CTO Markus Schäfer表示：“自2019年我们建立战略合作伙伴关系以来，Sila取得了很大的进步。他们一直在证明自己不仅有能力在最高水平上进行科学创新，而且有能力制造高质量的材料。”
“Delivering such a high energy density is a true game changer and allows us to think in completely new directions when developing future electric cars. Our partnership with Sila is another essential step on our way to build the most desirable electric luxury cars.”

“提供如此高的能量密度是一个真正的游戏规则改变者，让我们在开发未来的电动汽车时从一个全新的方向思考。我们与Sila的合作是我们在制造最理想的豪华电动汽车的道路上迈出的又一步。”
The advanced silicon anode materials will be manufactured using 100% renewable energy in Sila’s new Washington state facility. Both companies are targeting mid-decade for a range-extended-version of the electric G-Class to be equipped with the new battery technology.
这种先进的硅阳极材料将在Sila位于华盛顿州的新工厂使用100%可再生能源制造。 两家公司的目标是在十年中期推出一款配备新电池技术的增程型电动G级车型。
Gene Berdichevsky, co-founder and CEO, Sila, said, “To realize the potential of next-gen materials, scale up is a pivotal part of execution and we’ve been building towards automotive quality standards and scale since our start. With our new plant in Washington, we’re ensuring we can meet the requirements of our auto partners like Mercedes-Benz.”
Sila联合创始人兼首席执行官Gene Berdichevsky表示：“为了实现下一代材料的潜力，扩大规模是执行的关键，我们从一开始就一直在朝着汽车质量标准和规模的方向发展。我们在华盛顿的新工厂确保我们能够满足梅赛德斯-奔驰等汽车合作伙伴的要求。”
