Go the distance: New electric vehicle battery charge can last whopping 600 milesBy Jeanne Erickson. Published Dec. 27, 2025, 1:19 p.m. ET
Electric car batteries that can reach a whopping 600 miles before they ever need a recharge — twice the mileage of today’s EVs — are coming to a garage near you, Samsung recently boasted.
Typically, lithium-ion batteries in modern EVs tap out at around 300 miles, with drivers wasting 45 minutes waiting for a charge from 10% to 80%.
The new batteries, however, double the distance and slash the wait time to around nine minutes, the company said.
Solid Energies, one manufacturer of these All Solid-State Batteries (ASSBs), has a good whitepaper explaining the tech (or at least their implementation of it), along with some self-serving marketing material comparing themselves against competing ASSB tech: Superior All Solid State Solutions, Why ASSB.
If this tech delivers on its promises, this will be a game-changer. Not just for electric vehicles, but for all portable rechargeable devices. Higher capacity and less chance of catching fire are both critical to the future of modern electronics.
Looking forward to seeing this in future cell phones and laptops.
