Merceds claims the same since 1 year tho... they say they have mules with solid state running around since start of 2025.

BYD also says it.

Zeeker too.

Quite a lot of others.

So who's actually first?

Nobody... nobody delivered any car to customers with that tech :D

Lol. The points in that article are preposterous.

Double the energy density of Telsa battery
Made from 100% green materials
5-minute charging
100k cycles

What they forgot to say was that it's also invisible.

As mentioned above, please update thread title to be accurate.

5 min charging is great, but remember, power in = power out, so if a car can be charged to 100% today with 250A 800V, it will need 10 times that to do twice as big is 5 minutes.

Assuming 80kWh put into the battery over 5 mins means a 1MW charger. Not impossible - truck ones are bigger: up to 4 MW - but that cable will be a beast to manoeuvre.

Wake me up when a reputable OEM is communicating on running validation tests. And/or has pitched in a substantive round. Because CAPEX requirements will be massive.

Till then, the startup which everyone is ignoring except other 3rd tier startups is .. just that.

And yes, if it ever works, delivering that kind of power will cause certain infrastructure "challenges".

What do we think of the Cayenne’s upcoming wireless charging feature?

The problem with hype like this is that it puts people off from buying cars that exist in the here and now. They are one reason 2nd hand prices for Taycans are so depressed.
