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

Green Car Congress

Of those, Ford is currently favoring a solid-state solution for several reasons, among them the better volumetric energy density this approach offers, said Ford engineer Venkat Anandan in a presentation at SAE WCX 17 in Detroit this week. A Li-air battery, with its air cathode, is a low-cost system, Anandan said.

b | The energy-storage demand for the reference devices. The energy-storage demand is calculated by multiplying the number of devices by the individual battery size. The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the Justus-Liebig University Gießen are also involved in these efforts.
