In fact, according to the conclusions of the project, the work carried out has made it possible to achieve remarkable gravimetric (350 Wh/kg) and volumetric (680 Wh/L) energy density values, exceeding in some cases the state of the art of some lithium-ion batteries. Although many challenges remain to be addressed to truly demonstrate the industrial viability of solid-state batteries, the SAFELiMOVE results suggest the potential of this technology to be used in electric vehicles, as well as for electronic devices.

This is a response to the main challenge posed by the SAFELiMOVE project, which involved the development of a new generation of batteries for electric vehicles, based on a solid-state electrolyte, which would give rise to a safer, more reliable and high-performance lithium battery.

This challenge is also in line with the strategic objectives of the European Union to position itself as a reference in the battery sector for electric vehicles. Indeed, further development and optimization of SAFELiMOVE technology could lead to competitive advantages for the European battery ecosystem and significant improvements in continental electromobility, such as increasing driving range by an additional 300 kilometers on a single charge; reducing charging time; increasing safety by eliminating potentially flammable liquid electrolyte; and reducing battery cost by 50%, thanks to the use of high-efficiency materials and processes.
