Electric vehicles (EVs) currently rely on tried-and-tested lithium-ion technology. But solid-state batteries are the next big thing, as Phil Curry explains in Autovista24’s latest What is? video.
As the electric-vehicle (EV) market continues to grow, carmakers are constantly developing new technologies to improve their appeal and practicality to drivers. Solid-state batteries offer one of the biggest steps forward.
Current lithium-ion technology has helped to establish EVs in the automotive market. Yet questions remain about their viability for all drivers. Range and charging times are two issues that often cause debate over an EV’s practicality, while safety is also a problem, especially the potential of a battery fire.
