Honey wake up, it’s the weekly miracle battery tech!
Sweet, I’ve been thinking about getting another EV. Which one is it in? I’ve got some time to go do test drives this weekend.
They said it would be in Lexus first if you read the article. There are power banks on the market with solid state batteries today if you like.
I bet they’ll conveniently forget to make them have 20 year lifespans when they start actually selling them. Because otherwise that falls into “too good to be true” territory and this is Samsung, a large tech corporation.
Finally I will be able to drive a thousand miles instead of walking them.
How about phones? Surely Samsung would put their own new battery tech in their own phones right?
Do you know how big and heavy that phone would be with a car battery in it?
That sounds like an excessively large battery.
According to Samsung SDI’s VP, automakers are interested in its solid-state battery packs because they are smaller, lighter, and much safer than what’s in current electric cars. Apparently, they are also rather expensive to produce, since it warns that they will first go into the “super premium” EV segment of luxury electric cars that can cover more than 600 miles on a charge.
Apparently not, though this is all marketing speak
