Researchers, top carmakers, and EV battery manufacturers have been looking to unlock the next game-changing technology to make safer and more durable batteries that can be recharged in minutes—solid-state batteries.
Many have claimed technological breakthroughs in recent months, and some of the world’s biggest legacy auto manufacturers are already drafting plans to begin mass production of solid-state batteries by the end of the decade.
The (re)search for the “holy grail” of batteries, as scientists have dubbed solid batteries, has seen many breakthrough announcements in recent months. Still, the next phase of implementing the technology looks more elusive, at least for now. No one has claimed yet to have found the secret to scaling up solid state battery manufacturing to put such batteries in electric vehicles and prove that the lab experiments of the super powerful, superfast chargeable, and super safe…
