Serbian lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery manufacturer ElevenEs has unveiled its latest advanced prismatic cell designed for electric vehicle use, emphasizing rapid charging capability and enhanced durability.
The newly launched Edge574 Blade Cell measures 57.4 cm by 12 cm by 1.6 cm and is capable of charging from 10 to 80 percent in approximately twelve minutes at temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius. The cell supports a peak charging power of up to 1 megawatt for a full battery pack configuration and maintains fast charging performance even in lower temperatures, albeit at reduced rates. The company highlighted the cell’s improved energy density—190 Wh/kg gravimetric and 420 Wh/l volumetric—alongside a lifespan of at least 500,000 kilometers.
ElevenEs, which currently manufactures cells at a pilot plant in Serbia and plans to open a larger production facility this year, noted that the Edge574 features design enhancements including a 15 percent reduction in internal resistance and optimized electrode materials. The battery is engineered to allow flexible integration into vehicle packs and bodies.
The Serbian firm’s strategy includes establishing three major production plants with a combined annual capacity of 48 GWh by 2031, supporting Europe’s growing demand for sustainable EV batteries. ElevenEs was initially backed by EIT InnoEnergy, a strategic investor experienced in battery technology funding, and plans to build the continent’s first LFP battery gigafactory by 2027.
Previously, ElevenEs focused on industrial and stationary storage cells, but the Edge574 marks a move into the passenger EV segment, competing on fast-charging performance and durability with established battery technologies. The company continues to promote its other LFP cells, such as the Edge575 for buses and commercial vehicles, underscoring its broad application focus.
