$45K EV smuggles a 620-mile solid-state battery out of the lab
https://newatlas.com/automotive/im-ls-lightyear-solid-state/IM calls the battery pack in question "Lightyear" and offers it as the power source for the ¥330,000 (approx. US$45,600) flagship L6 Lightyear Max. It's not a strictly zero-fluid solid-state chemistry, instead utilizing a semi-solid layout that includes solid material suspended in a liquid electrolyte. It's a step toward the solid-state future, though.
The 900-V Lightyear pack has a capacity of 130 kWh for a total range estimated to exceed 1,000 km (620 miles) on China's CLTC testing cycle. Just as impressively, it's said to be capable of adding 400 km (249 miles) of range in just 12 minutes when wired up to a properly quick ultra-fast charger.
