Solid-state batteries have long been the holy grail of the EV industry. With mass production on the horizon, the commercial vehicle sector is poised for its biggest disruption in a century.
Cost and Safety Analysis
Compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, solid-state technology offers:
- **Higher Energy Density:** Longer range and less weight.
- **Faster Charging:** Reducing downtime for commercial fleets.
- **Enhanced Safety:** Eliminating flammable liquid electrolytes.
Our projections show a potential 30% reduction in total cost of ownership for long-haul electric trucks by 2030.
