ProLogium has big news in the race for better electric vehicle (EV) batteries, including a near-80% increase in driving range on a 12-minute fast-charge.*
The Taiwan-based company recently debuted the second generation of its solid-state power pack during a tech conference in Europe. The flat, rectangular battery cell design is lighter and packs more punch than the traditional cylindrical concepts, company officials told CleanTechnica.*
As an example, the Mercedes EQE 350+ could increase its range by 79%, to 447 miles on a charge, according to an ArenaEV report. The story also noted a significant drop in weight — a savings of “around 254 pounds.”
Other perks include a 12-minute fast-charge to 80% capacity (compared to 20 minutes with traditional batteries).
“With a clear roadmap for capacity ramp-up and technology development, we are making an all-out effort to accelerate the electrification revolution by providing improved energy solutions to our partners,” ProLogium CEO Vincent Yang told CleanTechnica.*
As part of the unique design, the battery uses a solid-state ceramic electrolyte. All batteries have electrolyte, the substance where the charge/discharge cycle happens. The substance is a liquid in common lithium-ion batteries. In ProLogium’s design, the experts use solid ceramic, part of how they created a more powerful, yet lighter, battery.*
The design results in a flat, rectangular battery that is shown in the clip fitting in the bottom of an EV.*
Company officials are also touting benefits pertaining to sustainability. Their battery uses fewer raw materials. It’s an important consideration as EV sales are expected to increase.
“Production processes will produce less waste … which means increased sustainability and affordability,” Simon Wu, who is assistant vice president of the product center, said in a press release.
 
This technology is big. It takes care of the excessive weight issue.
It increases range and uses less raw materials and increases the lifespan of the battery pack.

MAGA soils diapers.

Actually, solid state lithium batteries have been around for well over a decade now and there are lots of people researching them. They aren't without serious issues of their own, and several have kept them from becoming commercially viable on a large scale.

One of the most serious issues is dendrite formation within the battery (aka "Treeing"). Unlike the liquid electrolyte - membrane Li battery, dendrites form freely in a solid state battery and will eventually short the cell out.

Another issue is that right now, solid state batteries are unrecyclable. Add to that that they are far, far, more vulnerable to fire and explosion if the cell is damaged, particularly if exposed to moisture or humidity. This is because there is more lithium present, and its purity is higher.

Solid state batteries also use more of certain materials like lithium even as other materials are reduced or eliminated.

On the whole, it appears this technology is anywhere from 10 to 20 years from being commercialized on a large scale.

Electric vehicles make up a small percentage of the total automotive market today, but their appeal continues to grow as the automakers expand their range, performance, and style—and as recharging becomes quicker and easier. Shoppers looking for zero-emissions driving now have an expansive list of vehicles to choose from, with a wide variety of body styles and several different price points. To make it easy on you, we've compiled them all in one place and listed them in order of their combined MPGe ratings from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Gas cars have 100 times more moving parts than electric vehicles do, and studies show that EVs have lower maintenance costs. An average gas-powered car, for example, needs an oil change about every six months, or every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. But many electric cars don’t require a major service until around 150,000 miles.
 
SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW ‘BATTERY COATING’ THAT COULD MAKE ELECTRIC CARS MUCH CHEAPER TO BUY: ‘[IT] OPENS UP A NEW APPROACH’
Scientists have developed a new type of polymer coating that could completely change the way electric car batteries are made.

Great news for prospective EV buyers: Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a new type of polymer coating that could completely change the way electric car batteries are made, making them cheaper and longer lasting at the same time.
The polymer coating is called HOS-PFM, and it works by conducting both electrons and lithium ions simultaneously. The specifics are pretty complex for those of us that aren’t atomic scientists, but the upshot is that it works really well with electrodes made out of aluminum and silicon, two materials that are cheap and abundant but wear out more quickly than the more expensive graphite electrodes (which most EV batteries rely on currently).
HOS-PFM, however, could change that. The scientists behind its development say that it could extend the average lifetime of a lithium-ion battery from 10 to 15 years. And by using less expensive materials, car companies could quickly increase the number of cheap EV models available on the market.
“The advance opens up a new approach to developing EV batteries that are more affordable and easy to manufacture,” Gao Liu, one of the project’s lead scientists, said in a statement shared by the laboratory.
EVs are undoubtedly more friendly to the environment than traditional, dirty-energy-powered cars, which produce planet-warming gases at an alarming rate. However, lithium mining, which is necessary to produce new electric car batteries, comes with its own set of environmental problems. That’s why scientists are working hard to figure out ways to make the lithium-ions we produce as long-lasting, and with as little environmental impact, as possible.
And HOS-PFM isn’t the only scientific breakthrough that could change the way lithium-ion batteries are made. A Chinese company recently came out with a sodium-ion battery, bypassing the need for lithium mining entirely. Meanwhile, other companies are making strides in the burgeoning field of lithium recycling.

nah.

drill baby drill..
 
I have range now with my ICE charge and have 100s of thousands of places to refill my tank now. Drill baby drill. Natural gas is the single largest source of electric generation. So electric cars are running on fossil fuel.

So that is the reason Hertz isn't going to go all electric with their fleet.
