It's mostly claims and organizations raising money for battery reasearch. I've seen lots of such claims for liquid electrolyte zinc or aliminium based flow batteries, but so far little seems to have materialized.
Also battery performance degrades drastically at low temperature, so battery powered EVs are not such a great option in chillier areas.
So far we are still running on battery tech first developed in the '70s with the first battery developed in the early '90s.
- clouddrover 8y ago> It's just claims and organizations raising money for battery reasearch. BMW has partnered with Solid Power to develop solid state batteries for their vehicles. It doesn't mean they'll succeed but BMW thinks Solid Power is worth the investment of time and money: https://companyweek.com/company-profile/solid-power https://companyweek.com/company-profile/solid-power > Also battery performance degrades drastically at low temperature Which is an advantage of solid state batteries. Here's some of Toyota's research: https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/03/new-lithium-battery-ditches-solvents-reaches-supercapacitor-rates/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/03/new-lithium-battery-... It's more than just claims. Someone will develop a viable solid state battery eventually.
