Solid-state lithium batteries represent a significant advancement in battery technology, promising higher energy density, improved safety, and potentially faster charging times compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Solid-state batteries are designed to be safer and more efficient. This makes them particularly appealing for electric vehicles and portable electronics.
But the cost of solid-state batteries is currently higher than that of traditional lithium-ion batteries. The production costs are still being optimized. The U.S. Department of Energy estimated that production costs for solid-state batteries could eventually fall to $70-$120 per kilowatt-hour, making them competitive with current lithium-ion batteries.
For the average consumer, using solid-state batteries in devices or vehicles will not require significant changes in behavior. These batteries will likely be integrated into products in the same way as current lithium-ion batteries.
