Samsung's SDI battery manufacturing unit has announced that it will start mass production of solid-state batteries in 2027, and that the parts it prints will have an energy density of 900 watt-hours per liter (Wh/L), a figure for lithium-ion batteries. to match.

Solid state batteries are also more resilient than lithium-ion stores, which become less efficient over time and can even catch fire after even minor damage.
Samsung also presented batteries with a 20-year lifespan and the ability to charge to 80 percent capacity in nine minutes.
Again, these specs make lithium-ion batteries look flat. If Samsung can produce its solid-state powerpacks in sufficient quantities, it could give the electric vehicle market a jolt by increasing range.
