https://hackaday.com/2026/04/27/why-solid-state-batteries-short/ supposedly solid state batteries aren't as safe and solid as claimed.

Dendritic growth and mechanical stress is worse due to the inflexible nature, causing these to short out while charging similar to older lithium batteries.

Why Solid State Batteries Short

Solid state batteries, we are told, are the new hot battery technology that will replace lithium-ion batteries. Soon. Not that we haven’t heard that before. One reason it isn’t dominati…

Das war wohl so zu erwarten. Der Schaden, der durch solche PR-Stunts entsteht, ist wahrscheinlich groß - wie es im Text heißt:

"they’re intentional statements to delay people’s EV-buying purchases by making them think a breakthrough is just around the corner"

Und trotzdem hoffe ich irgendwie auch selbst immer darauf und bin dann enttäuscht.

Yep, it’s fast: Donut Lab’s solid-state battery gets its first test result

Donut Lab’s solid-state battery can charge from 0 to 80 percent in under 5 minutes without an extensive cooling system.

🚗❄️ Most people won't buy an EV because of cost, range anxiety, slow charging, battery longevity, and cold weather performance. What if one battery solved all five?

Donut Lab says they did. 400 Wh/kg. 0 to 80% in 4.5 min. 100,000 cycles. 99% capacity at -22°F. Priced below lithium-ion. 🔋👀

The industry called it impossible. Then the test results came back.
