"As part of its SOLiDIFY project, the EU-supported firm and its 13 partners have manufactured a prototype solid-state battery with a 1070 Wh/L energy density, nearly 25 percent higher than the best lithium-ion cells (800 Wh/L)."
"This process holds promise for affordable industrial transfer…[it] is projected to cost less than 150 euros (about $167) per kWh, compared to about $140/kWh for current batteries."
"Clearly the charging times and number of cycles need to improve…modern li-ion car batteries can be charged 2000 times and some in well under an hour."
"It's worth the effort, though, as solid-state batteries could eventually deliver improved energy density, lower charging times and better safety, all at a lower price."
