European battery manufacturer ElevenEs has unveiled the Edge 574 Blade Cell, a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery designed to enhance performance, fast charging capability and system integration in electric vehicles and industrial machines.
The launch aims to accelerate the transition to electric mobility in Europe with a focus on cost-effectiveness, longevity and safety.
The Edge574 offers charging from 10% to 80% in just 12 minutes under optimal conditions (≥ 25°C), reaching a peak charging power of 1 MW when configured in packs of up to 210 cells. In practical terms, this enables vehicles to gain 66 kilometres of range per minute, or 1.1 km per second of charging.
The cell maintains robust performance across different temperatures. At 10°C, it charges to 80% in 18 minutes, providing 44 km of range per minute at 650 kW. Even at 0°C, it delivers 25 km of range per minute with a 415 kW peak, demonstrating its adaptability to real-world conditions.
In terms of lifespan, the Edge574 is rated for a minimum range of 500,000 kilometres, supporting extended use in both fleet and commercial operations. This endurance contributes to lower total cost of ownership and a more sustainable battery lifecycle.
The Edge574 is compatible with both cell-to-pack (CTP) and cell-to-body (CTB) integration formats. This design approach allows for better space efficiency, resulting in higher energy density at the pack level. At the cell level, it offers 190 Wh/kg gravimetric and 420 Wh/l volumetric energy density, positioning it competitively within the current market.
The new cell is engineered to operate between -30°C and 60°C, with nominal capacity maintained up to 55°C and around 75% at -10°C. This broad thermal operating range enables performance consistency across various climate zones.
ElevenEs achieved the cell’s performance through multiple technical improvements. These include a 15% reduction in direct current internal resistance (DCIR) compared to the company’s previous generation. This was made possible by optimised electrode materials, a new electrolyte formulation, and an enhanced mechanical design.
The structural design has also been refined. The new sheet metal casing is thinner yet robust, enhancing durability without compromising safety. Larger terminals on the cell lid support high current loads essential for fast charging. Additionally, the taller and slimmer form factor offers greater flexibility for integration in next-generation EV platforms.
ElevenEs has also incorporated advanced safety features tailored for high-power charging, including improved thermal management and structural safeguards. The balance between energy density, safety, and cost optimisation has been a core aspect of the product’s development strategy.
According to the company, the Edge574 represents more than a product release; it sets a new benchmark for fast-charging, long-life LFP cells in Europe. The technology is expected to benefit a broad range of OEMs and industrial partners seeking to accelerate vehicle electrification while meeting economic and regulatory requirements.
The company emphasised that the Edge574 was developed with realistic, measurable, and achievable targets, reflecting a strategic commitment to disciplined R&D and product delivery. ElevenEs continues to scale its production capacity to meet growing demand across the continent.
With the launch of the Edge574, ElevenEs positions itself at the forefront of LFP battery innovation in Europe, contributing to the development of more practical, efficient, and sustainable electric transport.
