Recharging in 10 minutes takes care of most range concerns right out of the gate - most drivers will be happy with a 350 to 500 mile range so long as the charging infrastructure is convenient.

[@philipguimerans]

We have been waiting for the solid state batteries for at least 10 years. I agree 500 miles would be great for most people, particularly when coupled with lighter, cheaper vehicles and faster charging. I will believe it when I see it though...

[@yodaiam1000]

[@robertchristianson1187]

Most ev's today offer 300 miles per charge which is close to most ic cars. The awesome deal here is recharge time with hybrid batteries which make it like gas powered cars at just a few minutes.

Love the channel mate, but as others here have said there is calculation confusion over 'energy density'/range as you quote it. There's a lot of techies here, and I feel you need to slow down a little and get the details right?

[@Wheelo40]

Thank you. I love your content and delivery. I’m an ICE guy looking in from the outside. EV’s need a huge number of “us,” who are not EV hobbyists to adopt EV’s. When you express doubts that people would even want 500 or 600 miles range, I’m over here saying, my ICE powered car says “DTE 475 miles” after a 5 min fill up. Remember this is what the market you are after is accustomed to. Not only do I want 500 miles range, it’s basically what I’m waiting on to pull the trigger. Thanks again for the very informative content.

[@robertwhite3503]

If you do 500 miles frequently, you may be able to get 350 miles for £7 or $7.You will have to take a 20 minute rest break every 300 miles. If you do 500 miles infrequently then most days you will wake up with 300 miles if you can charge from home. It will improve but those are your current choices.

[@GDM22]

If that is what you think you is required, no-one is attempting to appeal to you misguided views. Being able to drive 500 miles in a single go should be way down the list of any intelligent, well researched and thoughtful person considering an EV. The average Australian drives 37km per day ffs and lives in a city.

Range isn't that important. I just charge when I need to. Never had a problem with my Model 3 AWD

[@sunrisejak2709]

Can your ICE car fill up miraculously overnight while you sleep? Waking up to a full "tank" and ready for another day if 300+ mile range on a daily basis? The cost for electricity in an off peak over night "fill up" is about 6 bucks. Filling gas to go the same distance is about 40 bucks. The average daily car use is less than 50 miles. Hence EVs charged from home and "refilled" every night have zero range anxiety. On average Americans take 2-3 trips per year. The inconvenience of a longer fill only happens on less than 3% of the days in a year. 97% of the days being charged from home is hugely more convenient. Not everyone can charge from home? Yep, but if all those who can charge from home is huge and in the meantime the charge infrastructure improves as well as battery innovation. I've got 2 EVs that in my use case are demonstrably better than ICE in nearly every way. And that's today without 600 mile batteries.

[@charliebrockway166]

All 84kwh batteries have basically the same range. The solid state battery saves about 500 pounds so it will get a bit more range. A 300 kg solid state battery will go almost twice as far as current 300 kg battery packs.

[@rickpalmer9518]

Right on Charlie A solid state battery same weight gives you double or 172kw that gives you double the range as a battery is usually 25% of the car saving 12.5 % of the cars weight giving you about 30% more range.

[@Phtang-phtang]

For most people, 300-500 miles of range is plenty. As the battery density gets better the weight of the battery will go down and you’ll get slightly more miles per kWh

[@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270]

So true, my car only has a 64 kW battery and a max charging rate of 75 kW but I need a 15 to 20 minute break after 2 to 3 hours of driving so the range is immaterial when the car has 450 km @ 100% SOC.

Sam. An 80 kWh hour solid state battery and any other 80kWh battery will give you the same range. The only difference is the solid state battery will weigh less. The fact that it weighs less will increase the range a bit but I would think not as much as you are saying in your video.

[@LPerezDancer]

For optimal battery health, it is suggested that you keep your EV between 40% and 80% SOC. That means for every 100 mile of total range, your usable range is 40 miles to extend the life of your battery. 1,000 mile total range would be great because it would be easy to keep your battery SOC between 40% and 80%. That's 400 miles of usable range per charge.

[@alangardeski3199]

One of is confused. 80 kilowatts is 80 kilowatts. Density doesn’t matter. The density will save weight not increase range except for the small increase because of carrying less weight.

[@mackmonkey1]

Sam makes this mistake constantly, not sure what's in his head when calculating his numbers, confusing weight with capacity ?

[@markusnagel4814]

+1 I see where Sam is going with this, but if you have 80kWh in your battery (regardless of type), then it only depends on your consumption how far you can go. But (I think this is what Sam is alluding to) if you can store 160kWh in the same space due to higher density, the same car can go twice the distance. (Not accounting for weight difference between the battery types) But either way - progress is always good news 👍

[@hamishbarrie8318]

That has been bothering me for ages too and I think we are right. Sam check out energy density. A 60kwh low energy density will drive pretty much the same distance as a 60kwh high density battery the low density will just take up more space.

[@FrankiePo89]

Higher density would allow for more kw within the same size as compared to a lower density battery, thus giving you longer distance. Is that the case?

[@sargfowler9603]

Yea, that confused me too. I presume he means within the same battery package size and weight, you'll get 1000km. It would have been better to say what the energy density is. I presume the SSB is around 160kwh?

[@Phtang-phtang]

I’m not sure how you calculate these numbers. If you had an 80kwh LFP battery vs 80kwh solid state, it’s the same energy but the solid state battery will be half the weight if it’s twice the density. The change in range is highly dependant on how much the rest of the car weighs and how efficient the drive train is

[@polaris1985]

I think he meant solid state battery = same weight and size of his current battery.

[@beatreuteler]

Yes but even more important will be the design adaptations allowed thanks the smaller pack profile (+weight) that will offer to build the car with a better aerodynamics.

[@skydragon23101979]

You are mistaken he is stating that if the solid state battery is double the density so now instead of one I can replace the same space with 2 solid state batteries.

[@beatreuteler]

[@skydragon23101979]

@ He mentioned it at about the 1.20 mark. But he says it in a confusing way. He mentioned that based on the current 80kwh size with samsung density should be able to give you almost double the range

[@vermontsownboy6957]

Sam, one of us is in left field, and I don't think it's me. an 80 Kw battery pack is an 80 kw battery pack. Your EV's range shouldn't be one iota longer or shorter with Samsung's battery unless it's 80 kw size is achieved with a lighter battery architecture, in which case the car weighs less and you would get X% increased range

[@PxThucydides]

You are right. Sam has it wrong. The main point of these batteries is not range- it's correcting the lifespan problem.

Exactly right, ALL of the cars I grew up with had a max of 300-400 kilometres out of a tank, that's if you nursed them, NONE of my motorcycles had that much range at all, regardless, I was able to drive and ride all over Australia, and in those days, there were bugger all service stations, you simply planned your trip...

Should we still be excited about solid state batteries? I thought the large expansion and contraction when charged and discharged led to battery-destroying cracks, making them unsuitable for ev's.

[@justinstephenson9360]

All I want is a reasonably priced smallish EV that will do 250+ miles at a steady 75-80 mph in coldish (0-5C) weather. Assuming I will never drain the battery completely but stop when battery is down to 15-20% - which is what I do with my ICE car - that means 200+ miles between stops. That is enough for me. Solid state batteries in well designed EVs will do that comfortably PROVIDED the current hype is matched by reality

I hope this technology will filter down to tools, having tools that would last all day would almost negate having to have a cable for most purposes.

[@AlexxxDE]

If you take out the 87 kw factory battery and replace it with a solid state, 87 kw battery, you'll still get the same range, assuming you drive the same route. Energy density isn't going to make a difference at all. The battery weight will help slightly with range , but very little, remember regenerative charging is also from vehicle weight, while taking more energy to getting moving, but putting back more energy when stopping. But a solid state battery isn't going to be a really big percent difference in the total car weight, everything else is still there. If you only accelerate to hwy speed a few times, then there isn't going to be a noticeable difference at all in range.

[@rickpalmer9518]

As an electrical engineer, I find it hard to believe that the same 87kw battery, but half the weight, don't forget the weight of the car without the the battery is not zero would double the range, maybe 30% more, but that still great considering the battery is usual 25% of an EV weight

[@mahbubhossainsamm]

Even solid state battery is also a reality right now! Awesome! 💪🏻

[@DavidNelsonElske-g1r]

I think this is exactly the technology needed for North America. Consumers in wealthier countries routinely make purchasing decisions on 1% features. So even if energy density increases, expect battery backs to remain the same weight, or possibly even increase. People will flock to EVs with 500-1000 miles of range because they want a vehicle that can meet their most demanding worse case scenarios.

NCA, LFP or similar powered vehicles need near 500 miles of range, because daily usable range after degradation, cold weather and top/lower protective buffers reduce usable range by ~30%. What will degradation, low/high temperature and practical buffer profile look like with solid state? If superior to lithium then the capacity equation swings drastically in favor of SS.

[@Thomas-AlderGoodsonTom]

I think ranges of 1000 miles will be useful for those without drives. (no off street parking) no one wants to drive that much in one go but in a lot of cases only needing to charge once a month lets say whilst shopping or going out for a meal makes adoption of evs much more likely than 300m ranges and potentially needing to find somewhere to charge up once a week

Secondly how will Governments claw back lost revenue from fuel.

[@GruffSillyGoat]

This is the fiscal driver for EV change, most manufacturers are transitioning to EV production in part because of this. They will initially transition to hybrids, which will hold up better at 35% BEV share. Before transitioning to selling BEV and EREV models only as they can be built on the same production line (adding a small petrol generator to a BEV platform). The depreciation levels facing ICE sales in the next few years will benefit the used market though. However, the real danger for ICE comes from within via alternative combustion approaches such as microturbine generators or free-pistol linear generators where their signficantly higher fuel efficiency which erodes ICE's range advantage. EVs just provides the electrified drivetrain platform for these generator engines to become viable since they no longer need to drive the wheels directly, which inhibited their earlier uptake (the technology goes back to the 1950s, with modern versions in development since the early 2000s inteded for EREV use). Fuel taxation will change to a pay per mile model, for all vehicles not just EVs.

[@JanRademan]

The limiting factor for charging is not the battery's charging rate. In order to charge an 80 kWh battery in 10 minutes, you need at least 500 kW for those 10 minutes. No home charger will ever be able to provide that much power, which means it is a feature you will almost never use unless you drive 100's of km's daily. While 500 kW chargers do exist, they would come at a premium and the required infrastructure to deliver 80kwH at that rate is an order of magnitude more complex. With these batteries in wide use, finding somewhere to charge them at anything approaching their actual charge rate would be a challenge.

[@beatreuteler]

Probably true for Australia. However in Europe, such chargers are becoming very common, not the latest because more and more fully electric trucks are populating the roads that could actually even use Megachargers. They will happily charge @ 500 KW during their mandatory breaks in order to enhance the daily stretch they can drive.

Doesn’t matter where I go or what I look at, EV’s are still $20,000 more than the equivalent ICE vehicle. I keep hearing about the tipping point between these two technologies but doesn’t even feel close to it here.

[@TreDogOfficial]

Could you not replace your old hybrid Battery with a solid state battery?

[@yulusleonard985]

Qing Tao semi solid is 4.7v each compared to NMC 3.7v and LFP 3.2 or sodium 3.0

[@AhBeeDoi]

What's the cycle life?

[@siwen66]

Once only😂

[@mpetty9947]

This Samsung Solid state battery sounds like the best in the world by far.

[@lexsta88]

I still think that unless you can charge from 5% to 100% in 10 minutes or so I.e the same time to fill as in an empty petrol station for a petrol/diesel car with a range of around 500miles people will always have range anxiety. Especially until the fast charger is as common place as the petrol pump. My car on a full tank has 550miles (supposedly) it took me 6ish hours to get to Scotland on one tank. I wouldn’t have wanted to make that 7 with a stop for charging. I only made that trip once but it’s the fact that I could when I needed to. Until we reach that threshold, that equals ice cars then people are still going to think electric is inconvenient and therefore inferior despite actually being better for you long term both financially and for the air quality/sound pollution and from a reliability standpoint

[@abhirammmm]

I wonder how much range can silverado ev could extract with 213kw ssb 🤔

[@gavinmarshall6438]

Hi Sam, I’m particularly interested in touring/ 4WD vehicles for vic high country and Simpson desert ect. There appears to be a way to go for this segment, I presently have a well equipped Hilux. Could you do a presentation about this segment, what’s available and what’s coming. Appreciate if you can . Looking for 1200 km range😁

[@galaxiedance3135]

Samsung might just beat TOYOTA with their Solid State battery coming out :) haha

[@MickH60]

Didn't Toyota do a deal with BYD ?

[@Kallon-r3b]

Make some videos about Prologium SSB

[@lota68]

That will be amazing, and Melon Usk will be the founder of Samsung

[@lnfopublishingsecrets1887]

Maybe human drivers don't need 650 mile range. But what about automated vehicles doing delivery runs? They don't need to stop for as many times.

[@Hurdy_guy]

Similarly commercial passenger vehicles like coaches. A big range that will go for a full day touring would make battery power viable.

[@drwisdom1]

Mr. Viking says Toyota "doesn't understand batteries." So they don't know you fill them with electricity and then you use it up?

[@carusmike]

For most ev usage charge speed is far more important than range. For 10 minutes charge I will gladly accept 150 miles because I am in the city max 20 miles per day.

[@blradcl]

Does this mean quantumscape is getting left behind?

[@kamingcloud2880]

Hope all the newer batteries will also be great for lower than -25c cold winter climate conditions ? 👎💖🌬🌊🌞⚡️🔋💯👍🌏✌️🙏

[@Rhotz-ix8ll]

I do as well but that only applies to a small percentage of the world population. Maybe just get a bigger battery in that case. I hate snow now.

[@jennieleighloomis7870]

I understand that most of the industry is working towards electric cars, but what about building solid state ebike batteries.

[@alangardeski3199]

I believe the charge speed and increased interior room will be the big benefits. Doubling the power in the same volume is what will increase the range

[@yodaiam1000]

Doubling the energy. Not the power.

[@massimilianoboatta177]

Prologium and sk??

[@document6]

I don’t think anyone needs all of this range tho .. when I used to rent bmws on Turo I had to fill up whether driving to San Diego, upstate NYState or to San Francisco .. isn’t that the same difference with EVs? Why the double standard on range?

[@stsproductionsllcdainiusbe4763]

Why aren’t Batteries built in large cells?

[@glenf4115]

A typical 70 kWh battery would weigh 118 kg (260 pounds) less and increase range by 4.6%* Example: 170 Wh/km would reduce to 162.2 Wh/km Range with 259 kg battery: 412 km Range with 140 kg battery: 432 km *Study by AAA: Controlled test facility. Energy used while unloaded vs 1400 lbs load of sandbags into a Ford lightning

[@document6]

Just offering the option to buy that range is enough .. some people will pay extra others will be like I’m good with 300 miles range

[@sunsshine]

Can we call it a wake-up call for the QS and SLDP investors?
