Samsung has announced a significant breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology. The company's new oxide solid-state battery boasts a 600-mile range per charge and has double the energy density of mainstream EV batteries. Samsung plans to mass-produce these batteries by 2027, targeting 'super premium' electric vehicles. The batteries are also notable for their rapid charging capability, achieving a full charge in just nine minutes, and a lifespan of 20 years. Samsung built a pilot line last year to facilitate mass production. This advancement is expected to significantly impact the EV market, offering longer range and faster charging times.
