Solid-state EV batteries that can achieve 800 miles of range becoming a reality

5 hours ago

Solid-state batteries are considered the 'holy grail' of EV battery technology, promising over 800 miles of driving range.
Major Chinese automakers like BYD, CATL, Dongfeng Motors, Changan Automobile, and Chery are advancing solid-state battery technology, with some aiming for production by 2027.
Dongfeng Motors tested a solid-state battery with 350 Wh/kg energy density, offering over 620 miles of range.
Changan Automobile's 'Golden Bell' all-solid-state battery claims 400 Wh/kg energy density and over 932 miles of range.
Chery announced a solid-state battery prototype with up to 600 Wh/kg energy density, targeting over 932 miles of range and plans for mass market by 2027.
Global players like Factorial Energy (US) are also advancing solid-state batteries, with partnerships including Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, Hyundai, and Kia.
Factorial's Solstice platform offers 450 Wh/kg energy density, 80% higher than traditional lithium-ion batteries, and over 600 miles of range.
Solid-state batteries promise higher energy density, longer lifespan, faster charging, and superior safety, making EVs more efficient and safer.
Despite the high range capabilities, the advancements suggest smaller, less expensive batteries could suffice for most drivers.
