The long-anticipated transition from liquid lithium-ion chemistry to solid-state energy storage is transitioning from laboratory validation to automotive road trials. Production prototypes featuring sulfide-based solid electrolytes demonstrated over 1,000 kilometers of real-world range on a single charge.
Eliminating Thermal Runaway
Because solid-state cells eliminate volatile liquid solvents, they operate stably at elevated temperatures, allowing aggressive fast-charging protocols that bring a battery from 10% to 80% state-of-charge in just 12 minutes.
