Toyota Plans Revolutionary Solid State Battery for 2021

Summary by Krater

This video examines solid-state battery technology, discussing its advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, Toyota and QuantumScape's recent developments, and the hurdles of cost, temperature performance, and dendrite formation that researchers are working to overcome.

From the video

Answers: What are solid-state batteries and when will they be used in electric vehicles?

• solid-state batteries
• energy density
• electric vehicle range
• battery charging time
• dendrite formation
• Toyota solid-state battery
• QuantumScape solid-state battery
• Samsung solid-state battery
• battery manufacturing

What it concludes

• Solid-state batteries offer a greater energy density from two to eight times a regular battery while having the same weight and lower risks of fire.
• Toyota's newly developed solid-state battery can enable a maximum EV range of 500 kilometers and a charging time from zero to 100 percent of just 10 minutes.
• QuantumScape's cell can charge from zero to 80 percent capacity in 15 minutes and retains more than 80 percent of its capacity after 800 charging cycles.
• Samsung's experimental solid-state battery achieved 900 watt hours per liter and over a thousand charge cycles, which equates to a car with about 500 miles of range.
