Volkswagen’s Winterkorn: “great potential” in solid-state batteries, with possible 1,000 Wh/l, or 700 km range

Green Car Congress

Current Li-ion batteries, with about 260 Wh/l are enabling a range of some 190 km (118 miles), he said. However, even “ Increasing the specific energy of lithium-ion cells to as much as 380 Wh/l will reduce driving range drawbacks.”. However, it needs more than books. Improving Li-ion conductivity in active materials.
