Mercedes-Benz announced it has begun testing solid-state battery technology on public roads. Widely regarded as the next big thing for electric vehicles (EVs), solid-state batteries are claimed to be safer,

Lab testing of the EQS test vehicle shows that the solid-state battery provides up to 25% additional electric range. The post Road tests start on solid-state EV battery developed by Mercedes AMG and F1 engineers appeared first on The Manual.

Mercedes is developing solid-state batteries with the aim of having the technology ready by the end of the decade.

The initiative marks the first road test of a lithium-metal solid-state battery integrated into a passenger vehicle.

The emerging battery technology promises longer range, faster charge speeds, and is production feasible. Mercedes-Benz is testing a prototype EQS electric sedan fitted with a semi-solid-state battery pack co-developed with its Formula 1 powertrain subsidiary,

The race for the “holy grail” of EV batteries is heating up. Mercedes-Benz is testing the world’s first production
