Samsung to Mass-Produce Solid-State Batteries for 'Super Premium' EVs
by 2027

Multiple automakers have been testing product samples, bringing them
closer to hitting the market. But like most new technologies, they
won't be cheap.

Samsung's latest solid-state battery technology will power up premium
EVs first, giving them up to 621 miles of range.

The new batteries--which promise to improve vehicle range, decrease
charging times, and eliminate risk of battery fires--could go into
mass production as soon as 2027. Multiple automakers have been
reportedly testing samples. Samsung did not list any by name but it's
worked with Hyundai, Stellantis, and General Motors, among others.

"We supplied samples to customers from the end of last year to the
beginning of this year and are receiving positive feedback," Samsung
SDI VP Koh Joo-young said at SNE Battery Day 2024 in Seoul, according
to Korean outlet The Elec and translated by Google.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the batteries won't be cheap. They will
initially go in "super premium EVs" and will offer 900 to 1,000
kilometers (559-621 miles) of range and improved safety.

"All-solid-state batteries can increase safety by changing liquid to
solid, and when made into the same pack (as existing products), the
weight is reduced and the space taken up is smaller, which can lead
to a cost reduction in the vehicle itself, so automakers are
interested in them," Joo-young said.

The company is also working on another type of battery chemistry for
its high-end customers, called high-nickel NCA, which has a high
nickel content and therefore increased energy capacity, according to
Sumitomo Metal Mining.

For the entry-level segment, Samsung will offer a lower-cost
"semi-solid-state" battery, similar to Chinese EV maker Nio. It is
also working on LFP and mid-nickel batteries, which contain less
nickel, making them cheaper.

Samsung's presentation also reiterated previously announced plans to
create batteries that can charge in nine minutes and last 20 years by
2029.

Competing battery maker LG Energy also presented at the conference.
LG is one of Tesla's battery suppliers and one of the largest in the
world. It plans to mass produce solid-state batteries a little later
than Samsung, by 2030, also starting with premium EVs.

Prior to starting at PCMag, I worked in Big Tech on the West Coast
for six years. From that time, I got an up-close view of how software
engineering teams work, how good products are launched, and the way
business strategies shift over time. After I'd had my fill, I changed
course and enrolled in a master's program for journalism at
Northwestern University in Chicago. I'm now a reporter with a focus
on electric vehicles and artificial intelligence.
