Fisker’s Solid-State Battery Powers Electric Vehicles—and Drones and Flying Taxis
Since Alessandro Volta created the first true battery in 1800, improvements have been relatively incremental. When it comes to phones and especially electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries have resisted a slew of efforts to increase their power and decrease the time it takes to charge them.
Henrik Fisker, known for his high-end sports-car design, says his Los Angeles–based company, Fisker Inc., is on the verge of a breakthrough solid-state battery that will give EVs like his sleek new EMotion an extended range and a relatively short charging period. “With the size of battery pack
