Samsung SDI introduced the prototype battery cell for electric vehicles (EVs) that delivers top energy density. Samsung SDI introduced new battery products include the prototype of high energy density battery cell for EVs that enables them to drive for up to 600 kilometers by charging once, low height pack and low voltage system (LVS)' for EVs. The prototype of new high energy density battery cell for EVs is the world's top EV battery cell that improved energy density and driving distance by 20% to 30% compared to cells that enable EVs to drive for 500 kilometers, which are currently being provided in samples.

The commercial production of this high energy density battery cell is expected to start in 2020.
