Key highlights:

• GEN2 cell performance: lower than 1.9 V per cell at 1 amp/cm2 and 70°C
• Exceeds US Department of Energy (DOE) technical targets for energy efficiency
• Maintains a 2 times higher peak operating point
• Demonstrates best-in-class performance with a 10% turn-down
• Successfully surpassed 3,000 hours of cyclic testing
