Solid-state batteries have no liquid electrolyte. They have a much greater energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries, and even greater than sodium-ion. This particular battery has a lower energy density than other solid-state batteries which are still in developmental mode. But the company developing these batteries (Chery) expects to double their energy density by 2027. They can also be charged 6 times faster than conventional batteries (fully charged in 5 minutes), and will likely end up being much cheaper too.
The energy density of these batteries will be high enough to power heavy duty "diesel" trucks.
The commercialisation of solid-state batteries appeared to be half a decade away, or more. And here they are.
Step by step, we move closer to the point where ICE vehicles will just be unsellable, and all cars will be EVs.
