It’s a battery that uses a solid electrolyte, instead of a liquid or gel-based one. The electrolyte is that bit in the middle, between the cathode and anode. Why are solid-state batteries the next big thing for EVs? Solid-state battery compositions will make batteries smaller and more energy dense.
But the biggest revolution in electric car technology is still to come. Solid state batteries are set to be a real game changer, making electric cars cheaper, safer, quicker to charge, longer lasting and with much more range.
Greatly improved energy density and a reduction in weight from the removal of the battery’s liquid component should improve range in electric vehicles to a high degree. Solid-state batteries should charge faster, too, at least in theory. Solid-state batteries also promise to be safer and more durable over the long run.
Solid state batteries are set to be a real game changer, making electric cars cheaper, safer, quicker to charge, longer lasting and with much more range. Car makers say they will offer at least twice the energy density of the current lithium-ion battery technology, significantly shorter charging times, and all at a lower cost.
Solid-state battery compositions will make batteries smaller and more energy dense. That means an EV can either go further with more batteries, or do the same range but be more lightweight and, crucially, cheaper with fewer batteries. Also, the technology better supports rapid charging, due to its ability to not get so hot.
But solid state technology has its own challenges, and it’s not the only way automakers could achieve lighter, cheaper and faster charging electric vehicles. The main difference between a solid state battery and the lithium-ion batteries currently used in electric cars is a component known as the electrolyte.
