The biggest barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles are their limited range and long charging times compared to gasoline cars. But the release of test results from a startup building a new solid-state battery suggests we may soon blast past that barrier.
Claims of “revolutionary” new battery technologies are a dime a dozen these days, but none so far have come close to knocking lithium-ion off its perch. Its balance of cost and energy density are hard to beat, and with prices still dropping fast, it’s the go-to technology for everything from smartphones to drones.
So when battery startup QuantumScape announced in September that it had cracked the “Holy Grail” of battery technology a solid-state lithium metal battery it didn’t generate much buzz.

VW hopes to steal EV range, recharge lead with switch to solid-state batteries by 2024
Volkswagen hopes to leap into the lead for electric vehicle range, recharging, weight and safety by introducing the holy grail of electrification – the solid-state battery – as soon as 2024.
Volkswagen’s $US300 million ($A396m) investment in California-based battery start-up QuantumScape is set to pay off enormously, pole-vaulting the group’s premium brands like Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini and Bentley well beyond Tesla’s range claims.
While the Volkswagen Group’s EV assault has begun with lithium-ion battery technology, solid-state batteries could give it up to 50 per cent more energy density, delivering up to 1000km of range, with 80 per cent recharges in just 15 minutes.
