Could these solid state batteries replace traditional lithium-ion models?

These solid-state lithium ceramic batteries are set to replace traditional lithium-ion batteries in a few years and become the main source of energy for most electric vehicles, whether they are two-wheelers, cars or heavy goods vehicles. Note that this type of battery does not require the use of materials such as nickel or cobalt.

This first prototype could therefore pave the way for a new era in electric mobility, with batteries offering higher energy density for optimized performance, improved safety and, above all, much better range and shorter charging times. Gogoro estimates that its first solid-state batteries should offer at least 40% more capacity than current lithium batteries.

Scientists everywhere are working on new types of batteries to power the electric vehicles of tomorrow. In the United States, at the University of Michigan, a new type of membrane has been created from recycled Kevlar, which could facilitate the development of lithium-sulfur batteries. These batteries could in turn be up to five times more efficient than the models currently used by the automotive industry!
