It’s still experimental and a long way off(something to do with crystals growing inside the battery and breaking through the covering )and I think they said they’ll put them in High End EVs ,LOL
Dirty water or sterile water?
A kilowatt is still a kilowatt. Charge up a bunch of these all at once and crash the grid.
Think of how many gas pumps there are at Buc-ee’s and change them to charging stations. How thick a power line will you need to run to the facility to handle all the stations?
I’d suspect there’s a lot more engineering involved before it is plausible for mass use under ordinary conditions.I see no reason not to be hopeful, but I’m not holding my breath waiting to buy one.
I will never buy anything that is made by Samsung or contains anything made by Samsung!
SAMSUCK!!!
For God sake.. find out for yourself. Watch the VIDEO and/or CONTACT Toyota.. get off your butt kid!
Reminds me of that song from The Wiz
"Diesel down, diesel down the road..."
My Samsungs have been able to travel 600+ miles on a single charge for many years, whether traveling by car or plane.
I remember reading about mini atomic reactors that could be built for local use. If a Buc-ees had one of them at each store with, say, 40 charging ports, and the charging could be done in a few minutes with 600 or more miles per charge, that might make sense from a CO2 perspective. Until then, I'll keep my gas(oline)
TRUE!.. but, keep in mind, LIBERALS cannot be encumbered with PRACTICALITY... they're too busy spitting out IMPRACTICAL ideas 24/7!
🙃
My father's name was Elgie, so I have always had a pre-emptive dereliction to Samsungs
But will the battery last at least 9 months, and what is the cost of replacement. My ICE car is good for 12-15 years or 150,000-200,000 miles without any expensive replacement.
To go 600 miles you need 200kwh (kilo watt hours). if you have 200 amp service in your house at 100 volts (rounding) you have 20 kilowatts maximum through the wire to your house (amps times volts equals watts). So you get 20 kilowatt hours in an hour and you need 10 times this, so it still takes 10 hours to get that much juice into the battery. If you have your own combined cycle gas turbine power plant with enough juice to power 100 homes, all at your personal disposal, it works. basically you would need 20,000 amp service at your house, 100 times what a normal house has. Then you are charged up in 6 minutes.
Samsung to Mass-Produce Solid-State Batteries for 'Super Premium' EVs by 2027
Multiple automakers have been testing product samples, bringing them closer to hitting the market. But like most new technologies, they won't be cheap.
July 29, 2024
Samsung's latest solid-state battery technology will power up premium EVs first, giving them up to 621 miles of range.
The new batteries—which promise to improve vehicle range, decrease charging times, and eliminate risk of battery fires—could go into mass production as soon as 2027. Multiple automakers have been reportedly testing samples. Samsung did not list any by name but it's worked with Hyundai, Stellantis, and General Motors, among others.
"We supplied samples to customers from the end of last year to the beginning of this year and are receiving positive feedback," Samsung SDI VP Koh Joo-young said at SNE Battery Day 2024 in Seoul, according to Korean outlet The Elec and translated by Google.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the batteries won't be cheap. They will initially go in "super premium EVs" and will offer 900 to 1,000 kilometers (559-621 miles) of range and improved safety.
"All-solid-state batteries can increase safety by changing liquid to solid, and when made into the same pack (as existing products), the weight is reduced and the space taken up is smaller, which can lead to a cost reduction in the vehicle itself, so automakers are interested in them," Joo-young said.
The company is also working on another type of battery chemistry for its high-end customers, called high-nickel NCA, which has a high nickel content and therefore increased energy capacity, according to Sumitomo Metal Mining.
For the entry-level segment, Samsung will offer a lower-cost "semi-solid-state" battery, similar to Chinese EV maker Nio. It is also working on LFP and mid-nickel batteries, which contain less nickel, making them cheaper.
Samsung's presentation also reiterated previously announced plans to create batteries that can charge in nine minutes and last 20 years by 2029.
Competing battery maker LG Energy also presented at the conference. LG is one of Tesla's battery suppliers and one of the largest in the world. It plans to mass produce solid-state batteries a little later than Samsung, by 2030, also starting with premium EVs.
Ka-BOOM
And it costs just $55,000!....................
The problem is the batteries go into thermal meltdown, the fire is 2000 degrees very difficult to control. My subdivision is so tightly that temperature would endanger two or three homes. If your EV burns downs my home, well you now have a problem with me.
