Fresh off a successful launch of its Prologue electric SUV, Honda showcases its commitment to solid-state batteries, known as the ‘holy grail’ of EV batteries.

Honda is readying its solid-state tech for mass production in the second half of the 2020s. The company’s CEO Toshihiro Mibe has eluded that solid-state batteries will also be the key to unlocking cheaper EVs.

This could spell huge things for the entire EV industry. Solid-state batteries are making headlines more and more in recent months. This type of battery, particularly when it comes to EVs, could very well change the game,

Honda Motor aims to double the driving range of its electric cars by the late 2020s when they start to adopt all-solid-state batteries, a new type of power source under development, the head of its research unit said on Wednesday.

A test production line lets it iterate fast to determine which materials and processes will offer cost-competitive high volumes for the new cell technology.

Using its new line and putting its product engineers and battery development team together, Honda believes its solid-state batteries will be used in its electrified vehicles in the second half of this decade. That's soon, as the second half of the decade's start is just a few months away.

Honda's solid-state batteries will revolutionize EV performance, safety, and cost, positioning the company as a leader in electrification.

Honda has been promising to unlock the power of all-solid-state EV batteries for several years. Today, we are getting

Solid-state battery tech could double the range of Honda’s EVs by the late 2020s, its R&D chief claims. Keiji Otsu said it wants to reduce the size of batteries by 50 percent and reduce cost by 25 percent.

Honda aims to start mass production of solid-state batteries in the second half of the 2020s, for use "not only in automobiles, but motorcycles and aircraft." With this wider array of applications, Honda hopes to achieve reasonable economies of scale to make solid-state batteries financially viable.

H onda has revealed its demonstration production line for solid-state battery cells at its R&D center in Japan. The goal is to quickly start testing material specification and man
