Solid state Batteries v/s Li-ion Batteries: A Comparison Based on Cost

Get Electric Vehicle

To better understand the severity of the cost component, let us look at the cost comparison between Solid state and Li-Ion batteries. In a broad sense, the use of lithium-ion batteries that started the EV revolution has been the industry standard in the EV sector. Li-Ion Batteries: What Made Them The Most Desired?

Georgia Tech researchers develop aluminum-foil-based anodes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. In the end, they had created high energy density batteries that could potentially outperform lithium-ion batteries. —Liu et al.

VW Commercial Vehicles unveils e-BULLI; electric T1

Green Car Congress

The comparison of the engines’ power output alone makes it very evident that the concept vehicle has completely new drive characteristics, as the electric motor is almost twice as powerful as the boxer. A 45 kWh lithium-ion battery is responsible for supplying the electric motor with power. As in the new ID.3
