The deployment of solid-state batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) is set to be delayed to 2030 owing to key technical challenges, according to a report.
Recent announcements from solid-state battery developers have suggested deployments by automotive in electric vehicles will begin in the near-term.
However, Strategy Analytics predicts that solid-state batteries will face delay in mass production and further deployment.
With the higher cost, the first deployments will be limited to premium models until technology breakthroughs and production maturity enable volume production for battery electric vehicles in the 2030s timeframe.
“Prior to this, semi-solid-state cells and implementation in hybrid models will provide the test beds for true solid-state battery technology,” the report noted.
A solid-state battery has higher energy density than a Lithium-ion battery that uses liquid electrolyte solution.
Toyota has announced that the first deployment of its solid-state battery cells will be in hybrid models, not battery electric, in 2025.
The technology trial was originally planned to take place during the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, but that development was delayed due to technical challenges and the pandemic.
Toyota’s solid electrolyte is sulfide-bas
