(AOF) – The Stellantis and CEA teams today presented the first advances of their collaboration in the field of digital modeling of batteries. These models, which make it possible to analyze charging time strategies and the mechanisms of battery degradation, are intended to increase their lifespan for customers, and to better control the environmental impacts of the various battery technologies in the 5 years to come.
“This work on digital modeling will have a positive impact on the performance and cost of use of batteries for customers”, commented Nicolas Champetier, Senior Vice President Advanced Engineering Propulsion Systems at Stellantis.

The market, which represents 400 billion euros in Europe, is subject to a movement of concentration. The British group Constellation has taken over the retail platform, CarNext. The objective is to form a European leader in the sector and to impose itself against other leaders such as the German AutoHero, the British Cazoo or the French Aramis Auto. Fundraising is accelerating. The British Cazoo has announced its listing on the New York Stock Exchange via a Spac (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) to raise $1.6 billion. The German Auto1 Group raised 1.8 billion euros on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange while the French Aramis Group, a subsidiary of Stellantis, entered the Paris Stock Exchange.
