Overview
The S4MILE project aims to support large-scale introduction of electric vehicles by integrating next-generation solid-state cells into vehicle structures using a 'virtual' module-to-chassis concept based on structural aluminum casting and composite unibodies. The project runs from January 2025 to June 2028 and is funded by the European Union with approximately 5 million euros.
