A solid-state battery developer in China has unveiled a new cell that could help change the game for electric mobility. Tailan New Energy’s vehicle-grade all-solid-state lithium batteries offer energy density twice that of other cells in the segment, empowering the Chinese battery maker to hail the cells as a record-setter in the industry.

The development of the battery industry is crucial to the development of the whole NEV industry, and many countries have listed battery technologies as key targets for support at a national strategic level, which means that the NEV battery industry as a new industry has stepped on the stage of the development of this era. .
For an average household in the US, the electricity consumption is less than 30 kWh. A 100 kWh EV battery pack can easily provide storage capacity for 12 h, which exceeds the capacity of most standalone household energy storage devices on the market already.
Based on its specs, Tailan New Energy states its solid-state battery cell sets industry records in both energy density and storage capacity.
Then there might be improved lithium-ion batteries, maybe using silicon anodes or rocksalt cathodes, for mid-range vehicles, or perhaps solid-state lithium batteries will take over that class. Then there might be LiS or even lithium–air cells for high-end cars — or flying taxis. But there’s a lot of work yet to be done.
