According to foreign media reports, a few days ago, major Japanese automakers Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Matsushita jointly launched a new research and development project - solid-state batteries. Lithium-ion battery technology and evaluation center conglomerate (referred to as Libtec) from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry There was a funding support of 14 million US dollars. Solid-state battery technology is now increasingly considered the next major development direction for electric vehicle development.
This type of battery uses a solid electrolyte, which provides higher energy density than current lithium-ion batteries and is less prone to heat generation. At the same time, their cost will probably be lower, and they will The battery is safer and more reliable.
Libtec's ultimate goal is to jointly develop a battery technology capable of supporting 800 kilometers of cruising range by 2030. The short-term goal is 550 kilometers, which far exceeds the current life of electric vehicles, and with Model S of Tesla. The 100D is quite eager - but it doesn't require the expensive 100kWh battery pack as the latter.
