BENEFITS OF SOLID-STATE BATTERIES IN EVS
What makes solid-state batteries the next big thing for EVs ? Kyoung-hwan succinctly puts it , " The potential gain is widespread EV adoption ." Given their reputation for stability and efficiency , SSBs are wellpositioned to promote EV adoption and strengthen automakers ' EV portfolios .
Safety : Traditional lithium-ion batteries ( LiBs ) use liquid electrolytes that are fire-prone . In contrast , SSBs employ solid electrolytes , dramatically reducing the risk of fires – a significant concern for the EV industry .
Performance under Extremes : SSBs outperform under challenging conditions , diminishing the need for additional cooling devices and battery management systems . " This enables an increase in the energy density of batteries in EVs , leading to reduced vehicle weight and improved driving range ," Kyoung-hwan mentions . This improvement translates to extending the EV ' s driving time by enhancing charging capacity while simultaneously decreasing battery volume and weight .
