Technical FAQs 4

Are solid-state batteries the future of energy storage?

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are poised to transform energy storage, particularly in the EV industry. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries that use liquid or gel electrolytes, SSBs rely on a solid electrolyte, offering significant performance and safety improvements.

Who makes solid-state batteries?

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), the world's largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer, is making significant strides in solid-state battery development. With more than 1,000 researchers dedicated to the technology, CATL has invested in solid-state batteries for nearly a decade.

What is a solid-state battery?

Solid-state cells incorporate a silicon-based anode, aiming for over 500 miles of EV range and double the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. The company has completed pilot production lines and is partnering with BMW, Ford and SK Innovation to accelerate commercialisation.

How will QuantumScape's lithium-metal solid-state batteries work?

QuantumScape’s lithium-metal solid-state batteries will charge faster, go farther, last longer and operate more safely than today’s EVs and gas-powered vehicles — bringing us closer to that lower carbon future. Do you want to help build one of the most critical parts of the future energy economy?
