Samsung’s 20-year-life EV battery runs 600 miles on 9-minute charge

Every day it feels like we're getting closer to battery revolution. It really makes you wonder how different the world will be once we have these incredible batteries actually working at consumer level.

This is the real next step, every other battery hasn't made it to production, but if they're sending out working EV batteries to EV manufacturers and have production line running then it's finally real.

And as soon as Korea starts mass producing long range, quick charge solid state batteries, the factories in China are going to start mass-producing them as well.

Regardless of what it means politically, this is fantastic news, I didn't know they were actually producing them beyond prototype stage into commercial production.

Heellll yeah.

Oh please! I'd love to see Big Oil shrivel and die just like our societies and very planet have under their influence.

Let's hope it's better than most Samsung products

I swear I read about how some companies have managed to come up with some break through to charge or increase battery capacity every few months, yet these are never make it to market.

I posted about this a week ago. The battery pack will likely be around 150kWh (Nio has a solid state battery car that will be produced that can do 577 miles on a 150kWh battery). The 9 minute charge is from 8-80% (according to the marketing material I dug up) so it is 432 miles of charge in 9 minutes. Considering fast charge costs like $0.50/kWh currently, I'm guessing most people will not be charging up that entire portion unless they are planning on driving for a long fucking time...after they have already been driving for 9-10 hours.

But that charge rate would have to come from a charger that can output much higher than current ones. The highest output you are likely to find is 350kW which would take 18 minutes to charge that 108kWh. So while this battery can charge that fast, you are not likely to be able to find a charger with that high of output for a few years. Still great to be able to get a couple hundred miles of range in 9 minutes. Solid state batteries supposedly have a quicker ramp up period and can take the full output for a higher percentage of the battery.

If a product lasts, it will be subscription based

I've been saying electric cars are never going to catch in until they can keep up with gas on affordability and how far you can go. This is how you compete with gas!

Amazing, now we just need charger infra to be more ubiquitous

If this works as advertised then it'll revolutionize more than just cars. This is huge

The weight matters too. EVs are notoriously heavy. You have to haul around the batteries whether they are full or not.

"However, due to their high production costs, these batteries’ initial application will be limited to the “super premium” EV segment."

Let me know when I can buy it.

965 km ... so aprox 1000km.

Can't we get Nokia to make an EV battery instead?

Now we're getting there!

I get the cost, but it should be an option to upgrade any current EV to this new style battery.

How viable would something like this be for powering a home? Solar panels+this?

Hell yeah. Let's keep going, boys!

How much is that in loading cable diameter?

All I see in the thumbnail is delicious, forbidden makizushi

Every car show, they put out 'concept cars' that will never see the light of day.

'New batteries' are giving off the same vibe.

Am I the only one who thinks this is complete overkill? 49/52 weeks a year, I never use more than 15% of my battery on any given day. I don't need 600 miles of range, heck, 400 with a nine minute charge would be incredible. Basically drive 4-5 hours then stop for a bathroom break or bite to eat then keep going.

Shit, if they run windows on whatever car uses these it could be a real adventure...will it crash when you lose wifi, or just explode randomly? ANYONES GUESS!

The Ford Fukit, new EV for $1000, just sign these waivers and sign up for this power steering subscription. The braking fee will be automatically applied per month based on use. GOOD LUCK!

What a piece of shit title.
