BYD is testing solid-state EV batteries in its Seal sedan with nearly 1,200 miles of range

  Just give me an ev miata with 25% of that range and no weight compromise. Not possible now, but probably in 10 years…

    I just want Hyundai to actually produce the N74.

  Charging to 80% in 12 minutes with regular chargers or special ones? If it requires upgrading chargers, adoption may be slow.

    Most people charge at home anyway, you only really need high voltage chargers along major roads.

  As soon as the range exceeds the mileage people can drive in a single day, there will be a gigantic uptick in EV sales.

  Man if EVs get this much range on one charge I highly doubt people will keep regular gas cars as anything but a novelty.

    The existing range was already good enough for most. I feel like you could read this as they could build a car with the same range with only half the battery pack, which saves on cost and weight.

      And people still won’t want them because they can’t go on long trips without extra effort. Until charge times are on par with gas you need the range to get people to buy them.

  Hyundai announced they don’t expect to release solid-state EVs until 2030, but their solid-state plant has been operational for a bit now and they’re filing full-scale solid-state production patents already. It’s going to be a real race to the finish.

    if a choice between china and south korea i’m going korea every time, the difference between co2 emissions is staggering

  Stick that in your range anxiety.

    Eh, I’m not gonna hold my breath until testing is complete. Pleeeeenty of promising technology never makes it past “promising.”

      I’m sure there’s a huge catch, but even if it’s half the range they’re claiming that’s a huge step up. My guess is that much battery isn’t going to fit in countries with very strict safety requirements.

  1930kms

  that’s a lot of range
