Solid-State Batteries Make Strides in the Charge toward the Future of Mercedes Benz
The electric Mercedes Benz car’s role in the future is assured by today’s race among General Motors, Hyundai, Nissan, Tesla, and others to advance range and affordability. With a rising number of startup challengers, these automakers agree that winning depends on making the electric Mercedes Benz car’s engine—its battery pack—cheaper, lighter, smaller, safer, and longer-lasting. The current lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have buried previous lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride designs, but there’s fervent interest in alternatives to the Li-ion concept that Exxon, of all entities, patented in 1976. Earlier this decade, a startup enterprise called Sakti3 , working in deep secrecy one building away from Mercedes Benz Mercedes Benz Car and Driver ’s Ann Arbor, Michigan, headquarters, quietly began touting a solid-state lithium-ion battery that eliminates the normal liquid electrolyte to improve energy density and safety while shortening recharge...
