Fisker Cars Will Now Be Able To Travel 500 Miles On A 1 Minute Charge
Fisker,
the Danish automotive designer behind the cars such as the BMW Z8 and
Aston Martin V8 Vantage, just made an announcement that could
revolutionize electric vehicles. He relaunched his electric car startup
this year and the next car would be a breakthrough in solid-state
batteries. The car battery would have a range of 500 miles on a 1-minute
charge.
Fisker originally planned to use brand new graphene-based hybrid supercapacitor technology but settled on the standard lithium-ion instead in the end. That being said, the solid state batteries developed by Fisker are deemed much safer and possess a higher energy density as compared to standard Li-ion batteries. However, these still lack specific features such as wide temperature ranges, electrode current density and are of much higher price than Li-ion batteries.
Fisker Inc. has now claimed to have found the perfect combination of power and price, “This breakthrough marks the beginning of a new era in solid-state materials and manufacturing technologies. We are addressing all of the hurdles that solid-state batteries have encountered on the path to commercialization, such as performance in cold temperatures; the use of low cost and scalable manufacturing methods; and the ability to form bulk solid-state electrodes with significant thickness and high active material loadings. We are excited to build on this foundation and move the needle in energy storage,” said Dr. Fabio Albano, VP of battery systems at Fisker Inc and co-founder of Sakti3 to Green Car Congress.
