Fisker and electric car company has gotten an investment from Caterpillar Venture Capital. Fisker is developing solid-state batteries.
Caterpillar is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives.
Fisker Flexible Solid-State Battery will be faster charging, safer and enable more range and costs of less than $100 per kWh.
Fisker’s new solid-state batteries use thin-film technology that have been used to make solar cells. Using a new manufacturing process, Fisker says several thin film layers are stacked inside each battery cell, giving them 27 times more surface area than conventional cells. The result is a battery cell with twice as much energy density as a conventional lithium-ion cell. The new cells will last for “well over 1,000” charge cycles.
Fisker claims to be close to mass production of the new breakthrough batteries. Many other companies are working on solid-state batteries and competitors are years from production.

the question is, is it cheap enough that it can willingly be replaced every three or four years
Well, Musk said in June that he hopes to get below $100 on the cell level this year and on the pack level within two years. If Fisker can match that and have better properties overall and a more rapid cost decline curve (due to currently lower volumes, lower maturity and more low-hanging fruit than li-ion), he could have a winner on his hands.

There’s no such question. Even with a 1000 cycles you won’t be replacing for a decade or so.
Nope. Their’s can do a lot more for the same price. (as far as they claim)

Keeping my fingers crossed while driving my Camry until someone comes up with a solid-state battery at a reasonable cost. I won’t buy an EV with the current battery.
This is far beyond Tesla and their time bomb masquerading as a battery. Even Porsche/Audi appears to have surpassed Tesla with claims of an 80% supercharge taking only 15 minutes using their charging stations.
