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

Green Car Congress

In that context, he said that he sees “ great potential ” in solid-state batteries, which possibly could boost EV range to as much as 700 km (435 miles), representing a volumetric energy density of about 1,000 Wh/l. Current Li-ion batteries, with about 260 Wh/l are enabling a range of some 190 km (118 miles), he said.

dependent on route profile, driving style and payload, is between 120 and 160 km (75 to 99 miles); at very low outdoor temperatures the range may be less. The simplest recharging option is to plug the charging cable supplied with the car into a conventional 230-volt socket. The battery is then 80% recharged after just 30 minutes.
