EP65 - Solid-State Batteries: The Brick Wall That Doubles the Range

from First Principles Hosted by First Principles Podcast

Your electric car is a miracle of modern engineering, and it is being held back by a thin film of liquid and a flimsy plastic separator that has to keep two armies of lithium apart. The solid-state battery promises to replace that fragile liquid with a brick wall of ceramic, unlocking double the range and nearly zero fire risk. We open the battery and find the quest for the holy grail of energy hiding behind a single, elegant barrier.
