- 1BYD says its solid-state EV battery is nearly road-ready▼BYD Says Its New Solid-State EV Battery Tech Is Nearly Ready For The Open Road
Chinese automaker BYD says its solid-state electric vehicle battery technology is close to being ready for real-world use. Solid-state batteries promise greater range, faster charging and improved safety over today's lithium-ion cells, and automakers worldwide are racing to commercialise them. A breakthrough from BYD, the world's largest EV maker, would be a major step in the industry's shift to next-generation battery tech.
- 2Executive Says Most Companies Struggle With Solid-State EV Batteries●'Most Companies Are Struggling': Executive Shares An Uncomfortable Truth About Solid-State EV Batteries
An auto industry executive has publicly admitted that most companies are struggling to develop solid-state EV batteries, calling out an uncomfortable truth in the race to commercialize the technology. Solid-state batteries promise greater range, faster charging and improved safety, but mass production has proven difficult, and the comments suggest timelines may slip further than many manufacturers have publicly acknowledged.
- 3Humanoid Robots, Not EVs, Will Test Solid-State Batteries First●Solid-State Batteries' First Test Bed Is Humanoid Robots, Not EVs
Solid-state batteries, long tipped as the next breakthrough for electric vehicles, are being deployed first in humanoid robots, according to a new report. The reasoning is that robots offer a smaller, less price-sensitive market where the batteries' high energy density and safety benefits matter most, letting manufacturers iron out costs and production issues before tackling mass-market EVs.
