Can Solid-State Batteries Really Make EVs Lighter Than Gas Cars?

Current mainstream EV battery packs typically weigh between 350 and 600 kg. That accounts for about 20% to 30% of the total vehicle weight.

How Can the Problem of Local Overheating During the Fast Charging of Solid-State Batteries Be Solved?

Solid-state batteries are often called the “holy grail” for electric vehicles. They promise higher energy density, improved safety because they are non-flammable, and longer cycle life.

Is the Self-Discharge Rate of Solid-State Batteries Lower Than Traditional Batteries During Long-Term Parking?

Self-discharge rate—sounds technical, but it simply refers to how fast a battery loses its charge when it's just sitting there unused.

The "Safety Redundancy" Design of Solid-State Batteries: Can They Really Avoid Catching Fire or Exploding Even If They Are Punctured?

Last summer, at an SAE technical symposium in Detroit, a fire department representative played a video. A steel nail slowly pierced a battery pack from a mainstream electric vehicle.

What New Demands Do Solid-State Batteries Place on Fast-Charging Networks? Are Existing 800V Ultra-Fast Chargers Enough?

Finnish startup Donut Lab recently had its solid-state battery independently tested.
