On May 17th, Porsche believes that after deploying solid-state batteries, the range of electric vehicles can exceed 1300 kilometers.
According to the foreign technology media carscoops, Porsche engineers and research teams are attempting to replace graphite with silicon in the traction battery anode, thereby increasing the energy storage density of the battery by 10 times, and can charge from 5% to 80% within 15 minutes.
However, there is a clear drawback to this type of anode material, which is that it expands when absorbing lithium. Porsche’s research team hopes to reduce the silicon content while increasing the nickel content in the battery cathode, which will allow for faster charging speeds and the power generated from it.
Porsche has expressed confidence that this new battery will be applied to electric vehicles in the next few years, increasing the range to 1,300 kilometers, and subsequent optimization of solid-state batteries can increase the range by 30%-50% and increase the charging power to 500 kW.
