We’ve talked about Solid-State battery packs at GreenCars before, but so far, they have been in the experimental stage. Now, for the first time, a major automaker is putting a Solid-State vehicle on the road for testing and delivers 25 percent more range.



Mercedes-Benz recently released word that it has an all-electric EQS model on the road that is equipped with a solid-state battery. Mercedes is partnering with an American company called Factorial Energy to develop the new battery pack that it says will give you at least 22 percent more range than current lithium-ion batteries.



In other words, this EQS 450+ with the new solid-state technology is clocking an EPA estimated 527 miles of range compared with the EPA’s estimate of 339 miles of range using conventional lithium batteries.



Plus, the EQS with the solid-state battery pack is both lighter and more efficient. Mercedes says the solid-state-equipped EQS gives you anywhere from 25 to 40 percent more range with the same size and weight of current lithium-ion batteries

So its testing stage? Not even pre production? Lanjiao la....

Game changer for German car maker

Don't believe too much into it. It's only in experimental stage with probably just a prototype model for testing. TOYOTA has also claimed breakthroughs in Solid State batteries, but admitted that it won't be commercially available until at least 2027 (also not confirmed). If it's so easy to develop with feasible high energy density, safety and can be manufactured at economical costs, everyone else would also have patented this technology by now.

Until the day it can be mass produced at a reasonable cost, will I then be convinced.

Always testing forever. Fark EVs, focus on hybrids and ICE. Drill baby drill!

ICE cars getting too complicated due to emissions rule, and carbon credits. Complicated cars means more problems.
Why dont mercedes just link the electric motor to gears. Therefore smaller batteries, longer range. We dont need engines spinnng at 20k rpms. Its stressful.

it's already in the pipeline for production. 1000km is the target range.

 

[Eisenhut]

So its already in "pipeline" only. Not yet produce la. Aiya...please la...by time produce no need liao la.

Now BYD already has 5min charging for 400km range

 

[eatshitndie]

when it hits the 699-mile epa range i’ll buy. it’s a brutal industry. millions of evs running on lithium batteries are rendered obsolete soon. they will be in the scrap heap in no time.

What do you mean? Charging done during the night mostly.

unless you have a charging port at landed home there are scant charging ports at hdb parking lots and pubic parking.

With more than 77% of the population living in HDB flats, it will not be easy to implement. How many charging points can the HDB provide in their carparks when ICE vehicles will be phased out after 2030? I shudder to think of frequent fights and squabbles at HDB carparks over charging points.

All the hdb car parks will explode and on fire if many car owners charge their cars at the same time

If all cars charged at night ? By 2030 all cars charged at night ? Our electrical systems cannot shoulder this kind of load

Ever heard of power banks?
EV's need to be charged only once a week. Only hybrids need to be cbarged frequently if yiu want to go fully electric and use ICE for long trips.

Build more power plants. Nuclear ones.

Still need to change all our current electrical grids
