Project Innovation

Sonocharge has developed an innovative and patented technology called The Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) which transmits acoustic waves inside lithium-ion battery cells. This acoustic wave does two critical things: 1) it causes the lithium ions in the solution to constantly mix within the cell, and 2) completely prevents lithium-ion buildup on the anode (dendrites). The result of the SAW is an increase in the energy density capable in each cell, which translates into faster charging times, longer lifespan, higher energy density, increased safety, and a dramatically lower cost of batteries.? In this project, Sonocharge will develop the SAW Plate line, the battery pack line and validate the system via EV field testing, ramping up production to 500 MWh per year and achieving MRL / TRL 8 by the end of the project.
