Samsung reveals long-range, solid-state, EV battery prototype

At 50 percent smaller by volume than a typical lithium-ion battery, Samsung's prototype solid-state pouch cells could enable 500-mile electric car ranges and cycle lives over 1,000 charges in a much safer package.

This is the technology that will accelerate the move to Battery Electric Vehicles in all areas of transport. I hope it comes into fruition in the not too distant future.

Looks good, but will need thorough testing, sticking in some EVs & being thrashed plenty of miles over rough terrain etc, to make sure it all hangs together and nothing falls apart internally when used in a real-world scenario. So will be a couple of years at least I think, before we see this widely adopted.

Fabulous provided that they can get the cost down to a reasonable level.

Fingers crossed!
