Report: Hyundai developing solid-state EV batteries itself

Green Car Congress

Solid-state rechargeable batteries are drawing significant attention due to their increased energy density (partially enabled by the safe use of Li metal anodes), safety and reliability. The all-solid-state battery also offers improved packaging efficiency, as the cell design can allow in-series stacking and bi-polar structures.
