Samsung SDI has taken a bold step forward in EV technology by unveiling a solid-state battery capable of delivering a 600-mile range and charging in just 9 minutes. With an impressive 20-year lifespan and energy density of ~500 Wh/kg, this battery doubles the power of current lithium-ion models while enhancing safety through the use of solid electrolytes. Presented at SNE Battery Day 2024, this innovation marks a shift toward longer-lasting, faster-charging EVs. Samsung is currently in pilot production, targeting luxury electric vehicles first. Mass rollout for mainstream EVs could follow with the development of cobalt-free and LFP alternatives to lower production costs. #SamsungSDI #EVBattery #SolidStateBattery #ElectricVehicles #BatteryInnovation
