This Dodge Charger EV Prototype Packs An Experimental Semi-Solid-State Battery
Dodge parent Stellantis is exploring the viability of semi-solid-state batteries with real-world testing. The test mule: A Charger EV.
Automakers are intensely focused on competitive advantages in EV technology, with battery chemistry being a key differentiator and a race to extend range and reduce costs.
Semi-solid-state and solid-state batteries promise significant improvements in energy density, safety, and charging speed, which are critical for mass EV adoption and market leadership.
The deployment of semi-solid-state batteries in real-world testing indicates a maturation of the technology, moving it closer to commercialization and potentially reshaping the EV performance landscape.
