Mercedes-Benz is Road Testing EVs with 600+ Mile Range Solid-State Batteries

Mercedes-Benz is pushing the boundaries of EV technology by road testing prototypes equipped with solid-state batteries, boasting a range exceeding 600 miles. Developed in collaboration with Factorial Energy and utilizing a modified EQS prototype, these batteries promise a 25% range improvement over current models. While a full market launch is targeted for 2030, Mercedes aims for series production before the year's end. This significant advancement, utilizing a safer and more efficient sulfide-based solid electrolyte, positions Mercedes at the forefront of the solid-state battery revolution, alongside other major players like Hyundai, Stellantis, and even those already mass-producing EVs.
