In a conventional lithium-ion battery, ions travel through a liquid electrolyte. A solid-state battery replaces that liquid with a solid material. It is a change that could reshape electric cars.

## The promises

- **Safety**: a solid electrolyte is far less flammable.
- **Density**: a lithium-metal anode could store more energy.
- **Charging**: potentially shorter charging times.

## The challenges

Producing these cells at scale, at a reasonable cost and with a long lifespan, is still difficult. The interfaces between solid materials are hard to control, and manufacturing processes are still being developed.

## What to remember

Many carmakers and cell manufacturers are working on the technology. The first applications are expected to arrive gradually, starting with high-end models. Meanwhile, today’s batteries keep improving in both range and price.
