Ford and BMW will own equal shares of the Colorado-based solid-state battery start-up.

Solid Power makes so-called solid-state batteries, which dont use the liquid electrolyte found in the conventional lithium-ion batteries currently used to power most electric vehicles. The batteries can be lighter, with greater energy density that provides more range at a lower cost. But they are currently more costly than lithium-ion batteries and early in development. Under the new agreement, Ford and BMW will receive automotive-capable battery cells from Solid Power for testing and integrati...
