Can solid-state batteries revolutionise the battery industry?

Overall, solid-state batteries have the potential to revolutionise the battery industry by offering improved performance, safety and longevity compared with traditional lithium-ion batteries.

Are solid-state batteries finally ready to live up to the hype?

Harvard researchers have made a solid-state battery that charges in ten minutes and lasts for 30 years, but the much-hyped technology remains a long-horizon solution for the energy transition.

Are solid-state battery cells the future of EV battery performance?

Solid-state battery cells promise major improvements to EV powertrain battery performance. How far off are they? Battery technology is emerging as a key differentiator among electric vehicle projects.

Are solid-state batteries a problem?

“The current challenge of solid-state batteries is implementation and scale-up, rather than getting something even better at the cell level,” says Lombardo.

Are solid-state batteries better than conventional batteries?

However, none of these modest improvements compares to the giant performance leap promised by solid-state batteries. Solid-state cells generally use the same lithium-ion-based chemical reaction to store and discharge energy as conventional cells.

Are solid-state batteries the future of electric vehicles?

Solid-state batteries have long been considered the holy grail for a widespread transition to electrified transportation, and the race to commercialise them has sped up in recent years. The likes of Toyota and Volkswagen are developing their own versions, which they hope to get into vehicles by the end of the decade.
