New batteries to be 6 times as powerful by 2025: EV cars will run 1000 km on 15 minutes of charge

The battery car was first tested on 5 September 1996. Today, even after 26 years, in a developed country like America, only 2% of cars run on batteries. Reason- Existing battery is expensive and the performance is also not good. But, if the electrolyte of solid material is used instead of liquid in the battery, then all the problems will be solved. The price will be less. A normal car will also run for 1000 km on just 15 minutes of charging. Director of the Precourt Institute of Energy at Stanford University, Prof. Ritesh Shukla's exclusive conversation with Qui.
Now the question arises why it is getting delayed. The reason for this is the dendrite. The cracking of solid material is called a dendrite. But, now soon this problem is going to end. On the 2nd of this month, Qatar's state-owned company invested Rs 3000 crore in American company QuantumScape, which is making solid batteries. The CEO of this company is Jagdeep Singh of Indian origin. QuantumScape's battery is 17% cheaper. The special thing is that the battery is as small as a pack of cards. It is also 6 times more powerful than existing heavy batteries.
The largest 20% stake in this company is held by Porsche, which controls 50.7% of the Volkswagen Company. This company makes cars like Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ducati and Porsche. There is a discussion on Wall Street that one of the private investors of this company is also Bill Gates.
In January 2022, the company published a test report, according to which the solid battery gets charged up to 80% in just 15 minutes of charging. 1000 km can be covered in this 80% charging. The testing of this battery has been completed in 3 phases. The company claims that by 2025, EV cars will be as common as smartphones today.
