SOLID-STATE EV BATTERY TECHNOLOGY
A solid-state EV battery functions similarly to a lithium-ion battery, but with a significant difference in the electrolyte. Instead of using a gel or liquid electrolyte, solid-state batteries employ a separator that allows ions to flow from the anode to the cathode.
