solid state batteries

[yorkshire]

Toyota have not made a mass produced electric car yet, I read recently Toyota are working on solid state batteries and plan for a hybrid with solid state batteries for 2025 working with a petrol engine, anyone know more about this?
Also awhile ago when Arnold Schwarenegger was govenor of Calafornia he said he was going to make hydrogen available in all filling stations, how far did that get?

I hadn't heard of solid state batteries. I had to look it up. That looks pretty promising.

I was just telling my dad about that last night about solid state batteries and he said what? and so I googled it while I was on the phone with him and let my tablet Google Assistant read it back to him in her English accent he got a kick out of it but said he still needed some more information about the technology. yorkshire Thanks for the Post

Just a quick Google , a 2020 article about Samsung and their quest for the solid state battery development

I'm sure there's much more informative articles that could be dug up but this was just a starting place

In a nutshell, the electrolytes are solid instead of the normal liquid state. Biggest benefit is energy density will increase and weight will decrease as a result. That's what I've gathered in my research. No direct experience. Solid batteries have been around but the new tech is making use of materials, like ceramic. Other benefits will be less likely to have a fire.... sorry - thermal incident!!

I should have looked into this before I posted, solid state batteries have been around since 1986 and are just starting to get useful, It will be interesting to see how they progress, thanks for the link Spa and eyhonda
