Mercedes-Benz is already working on bringing these batteries to market by the end of the decade. Solid-state batteries are considered the next big thing in battery technology. Several automakers are already working with battery companies to develop solid-state cells, hoping to commercialize them in the future to eliminate range anxiety, improve battery safety and increase charging speeds. Mercedes also led a $200 million funding round in 2022 and today Factorial announced a new solid-state battery named Solstice.

I believe there are already consumer level devices with solid state batteries. Hopefully within the next few years they’ll be everywhere.

Crap PR stuff. Mercedes should be restrained in communicating these things and just focus on overdelivery.
