Solid State Batteries are Closer Than You Think

Why Solid State Batteries are Finally Here. Get 20% off DeleteMe US consumer plans: joindeleteme.com/UNDECIDED. If I said that a solid state battery (or SSB) was coming to the market soon, would you believe me? What if I told you that some of the most advanced solid state batteries ever made are right around the corner? And that the pilot programs and production facilities are already in the works? I wouldn’t believe me either, but it's true. Solid state batteries have been one of those revolutionary breakthroughs that was always just another five or so years away. But now two companies, QuantumScape and Solid Power, are on schedule for commercialization. So how exactly are they bringing their solid state batteries to the market? And what makes them special?

    Title: Solids state batteries are here Video: Solid state batteries are 5 years away.
  • @quackmoor
    Didn't i watch this video 5 years ago?
  • I will charge my solid state battery car, using electricity generated by fusion power plants. Just 10 years away.
  • So it i understand it correctly, the commercialization date is 2028 , so SSBs are not 5 years away now , they are 4 years away
  • @ceric64
    BTW, when Chinese companies claim *SSB*, they meant semi-solid-state battery. Not the same.

    Title : "Solid State Batteries are Finally Here" Conclusion : "They need just a little bit mode time".
  • @zumuvtuber
    Solid state batteries have been "almost here", "just a few years away", "arriving to market soon" for the past 15 years at least. I'll believe it when I see it.
  • I have a solid state battery from Yoshino. I run the AC on my boat when away from the dock. Works great.
  • @andrewjmarx
    I'm surprised gravimetric density wasn't discussed/compared; I've always thought it was more interesting than volumetric density. The main things is that higher gravimetric density equals less mass for the same amount of energy, resulting in better efficiency and range for a given energy capacity, or being able to use even smaller battery packs for the same range as different type of battery pack. It also means safer accident collision conditions, and hopefully lower costs/impacts from extracting, transporting, and processing of raw resources. Volumetric density can sort of indicate those things, but to a lesser degree I think.
  • @ubacow7109
    Some solid state batteries for consumers are already on the market under Yoshino power, you can buy them to power your electronics or home
  • I own and drive a second hand 2015 LEAF and slow charge it at home. So, for an 8 year old EVE its battery is in good shape. I hope the solid state is ready to use by the time I purchase my next car. My husband drives a 2004 Honda CR-V. We like to keep cars running as long as possible.
  • @trueriver1950
    Someone needs to start a sweepstake: which will arrive first: fusion power at grid scale, or solid state batteries in production at auto scale.
  • @xicofaria
    There's a newly built factory in Taiwan and a second one starting coonstruction now in France, for Prologium SSB batteries. Its a real product, samples are with clients as of a few months ago.
  • @kishidabu
    One of the reasons I subscribe to your channel is that all of the innovations out there are really fascinating and so thank you for keeping us informed. It would be a good episode though to look back of previous episodes to discover which ideas have made it to maturity and viability. Keep up the good work Matt!
  • @michaelhuss0
    Impossibly thin electronics are not necessary. On the other hand, fitting more battery power into devices of the current thickness/mass... that's a worthy pursuit. Bring it on.
