Solid-state batteries hold the promise of more energy storage, longer driving ranges and faster charging for next-generation electric vehicles. Here are some of the companies developing these kind of batteries. U.S. startup QuantumScape, which has deals with six automakers including Volkswagen, has developed a semi-solid state cell with no anode that uses lithium metal, a ceramic separator and liquid electrolyte.

Toyota, the worlds biggest automaker, said in June it had achieved a breakthrough in solid-state technology that addressed durability problems. It said it planned commercialisation in 2027-2028 of a battery with a range of 1,000 km and a charging time of 10 minutes.

Solid-state Batteries: U.S. startup QuantumScape, which has deals with six automakers including Volkswagen, has developed a semi-solid state cell with no anode that uses lithium metal, a ceramic separator and liquid electrolyte. The company says it could boost an EVs driving range from 350 miles to 400-500 miles, an increase of 14%-43%. The expected range increase is down from earlier estimates of 50%-80%.

The development of solid electrolytes, also known as ion-conductive ceramics, has been intensively researched, driven by the serious safety concerns associated with liquid electrolytes, such as electrolyte leakage and evaporation.

There are a lot of risks with this battery technology stock, but also a lot of potential upside.
