Ford favoring bulk-type solid-state battery for next-gen energy storage

Green Car Congress

Ford is exploring a variety of “beyond Li-ion” solutions, including Lithium-sulfur, Lithium-air and solid-state lithium-ion batteries. A Li-air battery, with its air cathode, is a low-cost system, Anandan said. It also offers a high theoretical specific energy density.

of total vehicle sales by 2020, the more significant story is the rapid expansion of strong-hybrid vehicles led by Toyota, Ford, and Honda, followed by Hyundai, Nissan and others. According to the report’s baseline estimate, the global Li-ion xEV business will reach $3.8 Li-Ion batteries for strong hybrids are in short supply.
