BMW has started real-world testing of all-solid-state battery (ASSB) cells in a BMW i7 test vehicle in collaboration with Solid Power.
Solid-state batteries promise improved energy density, safety, and lower production costs compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
The test vehicle integrates ASSB cells based on sulfide-based electrolytes into a concept battery pack, providing insights on real-world behavior.
The partnership between BMW and Solid Power aims to advance solid-state battery technology, potentially leading to faster-charging and longer-lasting EVs.
