According to foreign media reports, this is called quantum? Scape USA was founded on 20 10, and its headquarters is in San Jose, California. The company is committed to developing solid-state battery technology and has obtained financial support from Audi. At present, it has nearly 200 patents on solid-state battery technology, and recently announced that it has achieved a breakthrough in this field and is in a leading position in the industry.
According to the information released by the company, they used the prototype of single-layer pouch battery for charging test, which can charge the battery to 80% within 15 minutes. After 800 charge and discharge cycles, the battery capacity still reaches 80% of the initial capacity, which ensures the practicability and charging convenience of the battery.
The biggest advantage of this solid-state battery is that it greatly improves the energy density. Compared with the batteries with the same size and weight on the current market, the capacity of solid-state batteries has increased by 80% and the charging time has been greatly shortened. 15 minutes or so, which is very close to the refueling time of fuel vehicles.
Jagdeep of this company? Singh said that using this new technology can replace the current lithium-ion battery with liquid electrolyte in a short time. "Lithium-ion batteries provide a stepping stone for the first generation of electric vehicles on the market, thus realizing the transition to electric vehicles."
According to relevant data, quantum? In 20 12, Scape received an investment of $0/billion from Volkswagen/kloc, and an additional investment of $200 million from Volkswagen earlier this year. Based on this intimate relationship, Volkswagen said that it will launch a new car based on solid-state batteries by 2025.
Perhaps stimulated by this news, Toyota Motor subsequently announced that it will show the first prototype electric vehicle equipped with solid-state batteries next year. The charging time of the car is only 10 minute, and the cruising range reaches 500 kilometers. If this news is true, then Toyota will probably change the rules of the electric car game and rank among the forefront of the industry.
It is reported that Toyota's research and development of solid-state batteries began on 20 17. It was originally planned to release the first electric vehicle with solid-state batteries during the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, and provide 12 semi-automatic driving cars. However, affected by the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics was postponed, which also delayed Toyota's plan. The news that Volkswagen will launch solid-state batteries in 2025 forced Toyota to release this news in advance.
Not only that, Toyota also announced the first pure electric SUV based on the e-TNGA platform a few days ago, and said that it will be officially unveiled next year, and two important new products will be released next year. Is this SUV Toyota's first new solid-state battery car?
