A Colorado company is reporting new developments in what an industry representative calls the “holy grail” of the evolution of electric vehicles — a solid state battery.
Solid Power in Louisville said it has produced an automotive-scale battery, a step toward replacing the lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles today.
Solid Power’s next-generation battery is about the size of an iPad. Doug Campbell, Solid Power co-founder and CEO, said it could be used as a building block for an electric vehicle battery pack.
