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

Green Car Congress

A Li-air battery, with its air cathode, is a low-cost system, Anandan said. Because the technology is similar to that of fuel cells, some of the design and engineering work that has already gone into fuel cells could be adapted for Li-air, he said. The bulk-type solid state battery could meet automotive design targets.
