Japanese automakers team up to solidify next-gen batteries

Facing competition from American scientists, Japanese automakers are teaming up to develop solid-state lithium-ion batteries for electric cars, according to a Nikkei report.

Some engineers see solid state batteries as the holy grail for cars because they are safer and have higher energy density than today's lithium-ion batteries. That can give cars more range and allow faster charge times.

Automakers currently build large structures around the batteries to isolate them from fire, and big extra cooling systems to maintain safe battery temperatures. Solid state batteries wouldn't need any of these things, which would help reduce costs.
