Samsung recently demonstrated solid-state battery technology for electric vehicles with a 600-mile range, charging in just 9 minutes and 20-year lifespan. This was showcased at SNE Battery Day Expo in Seoul. The innovative battery utilizes oxide solid-state technology, offering a significant energy density of approximately 500 Wh/kg, nearly double the density of mainstream EV batteries, hence enabling the efficient storage and delivery of energy. These batteries use solid electrolytes instead of liquid ones, enhancing energy storage and safety. Samsung is also working on developing more cost-effective battery options for wider market availability.
Samsung has been working on electric vehicle (EV) battery technology for over a decade, with ongoing research and development efforts aimed at pushing the boundaries of energy storage technology. It presented a roadmap for EV battery technology development during the year 2023. This presentation outlined the company’s strategic plans and advancements in battery technology that were aimed at transforming the electric vehicle market. The battery-development roadmap, had performance targets for charging, energy density, and battery life, and showcased breakthrough innovations such as the solid-state battery cells capable of being charged from 8% to 80% in just nine minutes by 2026.
