FOR EVS, SEMI-SOLID-STATE BATTERIES OFFER A STEP FORWARD

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

It's not yet realistic to look for solid-state batteries in production vehicles anytime soon. Semi-solid-state batteries with gel electrolytes still offer significant improvement over lithium iron phosphate batteries. They can be made on conventional lithium-ion battery production lines. Several companies are actively developing semi-solid-state batteries - WeLion, a Chinese company, has created a battery pack that delivers more than 1,000 kilometers of driving range on a single charge.
