Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes, not liquid, which results in a higher energy density than traditional lithium-ion chemistries. After years of development, they promise to be the next big trend in electric vehicle technology.
CAMBRIDGE, England—During the next decade, solid-state batteries will become an appealing alternative to lithium-ion technology for electric vehicle manufacturers.
DEARBORN, MI—Ford Motor Co. is creating a new global battery center of excellence to accelerate research and development activity, including in-house battery manufacturing.
GOTHENBURG, Sweden—Engineers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a structural battery that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor and load-bearing material.
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA—Engineers at Penn State are developing lithium-iron phosphate batteries that have a range of 250 miles and can charge in 10 minutes.
HERZELIYA, Israel—A startup company called StoreDot claims to have reached a milestone by developing a lithium-ion battery that can charge in only five minutes.
Battery electric vehicles could be on the fast track to reach an installed base of over 100 million by 2029, but much of the growth in electrification hinges on battery technology as well as educated and willing consumers.
The electrification of automotive powertrains has accelerated as the world's automakers come to the realization that traditional ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles can no longer keep pace with stringent global emissions requirements, especially those in Europe.
STOCKHOLM—Volvo has developed a new concept for lightweight structural energy storage components, in a bid to enhance the use of energy for future electrified vehicles. The new component includes carbon fibers, nano structured batteries and super capacitors.
