Electric cars are becoming more popular every day and many different models are being introduced to the market. With the development of the charging infrastructure, long journeys have become much easier. However, one of the biggest problems of electric cars is still the charging times. Samsung’s new battery takes an important step towards solving this problem.
What does Samsung’s new battery, which will be released in 2027, offer?
The battery division of Samsung SDI has developed an important solution in this regard. Samsung, which has created a new solid-state battery, announced that this battery can provide a range of 965 km on a single charge. What is even more impressive is that this battery can be fully charged in just nine minutes. This greatly reduces the long charging times, which are one of the biggest problems of electric vehicles.
This new battery technology has been tested with many automobile manufacturers for the last six months. Samsung has not disclosed the car manufacturers it is collaborating with, but it is believed to be working with big names like Hyundai and General Motors. Samsung SDI also claims that this new solid-state battery has a lifespan of up to 20 years, which will significantly extend the lifespan of electric vehicles.
Samsung says that the first electric vehicles using the new solid-state batteries will be on the market by 2027. However, since these batteries are quite expensive, it is stated that they will initially be used only in “super premium EVs”. This suggests that it may take some time for this technology to reach the masses at first.
Samsung’s new battery technology is seen as an important step for the future of electric vehicles. Long charging times are one of the biggest obstacles to the wider adoption of electric vehicles. Samsung’s innovation could help make electric vehicles more practical and convenient, which could contribute to faster growth in the electric vehicle market.
