Solid-state batteries have the potential to make EVs far more affordable and practical, but their commercial development has a record of false promises that would make Tesla's full self-driving blush.

Mercedes-Benz is doubling down on solid-state EV batteries with ultra-long range and fast charging capabilities for its next-gen vehicles.

A breakthrough in solid-state electrolytes could double energy storage, improving battery performance for vehicles and devices.

Mercedes is getting new all-solid-state EV batteries for its next-gen models. Developed with Factorial, its new all-solid-state battery “breakthrough”

Mercedes-Benz and U.S. battery startup Factorial are working on a solid-state battery that should dramatically increase electric vehicle range and be ready for production by the end of the decade, the companies said on Tuesday.

Mercedes and Factorial on Tuesday jointly announced they are working on a solid-state battery that they expect to be in production by the end of the decade. Known as Solstice, the battery has an energy density of 0.

Mercedes-Benz has been collaborating with a company called Factorial Energy and together, they’ve refined the Solstice. And the Solstice will help Mercedes-Benz in its aims to have solid-state batteries in its cars by 2030.
