Solid State EV Batteries are in demand because of their increased storage potential, twice as much as current batteries, and their quick charging time? Minutes.

Makers compete over all solid-state EV batteries- News - NHK WORLD - English

Competition is intensifying over the development of a new type of battery. It would enable electric vehicles to cover more than twice the distance that they currently can, using conventional batteries.

 From article, (Competition is intensifying over the development of a new type of battery. It would enable electric vehicles to cover more than twice the distance that they currently can, using conventional batteries.

All solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes. They have a greater capacity to produce electricity, compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries that use liquid electrolytes.

Researchers say the new type of battery can, in addition, shorten the time required for a full charge from hours to minutes.

Toyota Motor and Panasonic are jointly working to put the all solid-state battery into practical use by the early 2020's.

Nissan Motor and Honda Motor are also developing the new battery.

Non-automotive companies, such as Hitachi and Asahi Kasei, as well as battery manufacturer GS Yuasa, have initiated research in the field.)
