Taiwanese battery manufacturer ProLogium has unveiled its fourth-generation lithium-ceramic batteries (LCB) at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. Poised to enter production later this year, these batteries aim to tackle critical challenges in the electric vehicle (EV) market, including safety, range, cost, and charging anxiety.
ProLogium’s latest innovation offers a robust solution to the persistent issues of high ownership costs and lengthy charging times that currently deter some potential EV buyers. With the looming bans on gas-powered vehicles in several countries, solutions like ProLogium’s LCB technology may help accelerate the transition to a greener future.
Vincent Yang, Founder and Chairman of ProLogium, articulated this vision: “True innovation begins with the core chemistry of batteries—reducing charging times and enhancing safety to benefit the entire ecosystem. The EV market can only thrive sustainably when consumers trust battery technology and charging stations operate profitably.”
ProLogium’s new LCBs push the boundaries of performance, safety, and efficiency. Boasting an energy density of 380 Wh/kg or 900 Wh/L, the batteries allow EVs to achieve greater range with a lighter battery pack. The company’s roadmap aims to hit densities of 450 Wh/kg or 1000 Wh/L by next year, promising even more gains in efficiency and cost reduction.

A standout feature of ProLogium’s LCB is its use of a non-flammable inorganic electrolyte, which significantly enhances safety. Equipped with an active safety mechanism (ASM), the battery automatically prevents thermal runaway at high temperatures, a capability demonstrated during tests where the battery endured heat up to 572°F (300°C).
The ceramic separator technology further sets these batteries apart. Offering three times the thermal conductivity of conventional batteries, the separator supports superior heat dissipation through a planar cooling system. This eliminates the need for energy-intensive active cooling methods, enhancing overall efficiency.
ProLogium’s design also performs exceptionally well in extreme conditions. With 2-3 times the ionic conductivity of standard batteries, the LCB ensures consistent performance even in freezing temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C).
Perhaps most striking are the rapid charging capabilities. ProLogium’s LCB achieves a 60 percent state-of-charge in just four minutes and reaches 80 percent in six minutes—charging times that rival the convenience of refueling a gas-powered vehicle.
Thomas Hülshorst, Global Vice President at ProLogium, highlighted the broader impact of the technology, stating, “ProLogium’s high-energy-density cells enable smaller, lighter battery packs, ideal for EVs. By combining ProLogium’s forward-thinking technology with FEV’s engineering expertise, we are shaping the future of sustainable transportation.”
