Then, why do we need a solid-state battery? It is to increase the capacity of EV batteries.

[i]Market research companies expect that EVs will replace ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles), and become the mainstream in the auto industry. And to become the unarguable leader in the industry, EV should have a similar level of mileage as the current ICEV, and it is important to increase the battery capacity of an EV battery to do so.

There are two ways to increase capacity. First is increasing the number of batteries. But in this case, the battery price goes up and batteries take up so much space in the vehicle.

A solid-state battery has a higher energy density than a Li-ion battery that uses liquid electrolyte solution. It doesn’t have a risk of explosion or fire, so there is no need to have components for safety, thus saving more space. Then we have more space to put more active materials which increases battery capacity in the battery.

A solid-state battery can increase energy density per unit area since only a small number of batteries are needed. For that reason, a solid-state battery is perfect to make an EV battery system of module and pack, which needs high capacity.

Volkswagen Group on Monday held an online presentation outlining some of its battery plans through 2030. Included in the plans is the further development of solid-state batteries, which the automaker sees as being ready for sale after 2025. (PLEASE NOTE 2025 is NOT 8 years away)

During Monday's presentation, Frank Blome, head of battery cells at VW Group and a board member at QuantumScape, said solid-state batteries will have the ability to charge to 80% capacity in as little as 12 minutes. That's about half the time required by the fastest liquid-type batteries in use today.

He also said a solid-state battery will be able to deliver about 30% more range than a liquid-type battery of the same size and weight, due to solid-state batteries being smaller and lighter. Another benefit is that solid-state batteries are less prone to overheating, making them safer.

This is what you are missing from this discussion, other than the fact that VW thinks it will be here in 4 years vs your statement of 8 years.

Ionic Materials has been working with polymers and they’ve gotten $100’s of millions of investments and you’ll have to read their website to appreciate…the progress https://ionicmaterials.com/

Did you also miss that Elon Musk signed a deal on nickel already? "Tesla won't have a stake, just a partnership that will secure its electric-battery supply chain as it ramps up production. "Our task now is to complete any and all outstanding items to allow the transaction to formally conclude," Vale said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

New Caledonia is the world's fourth-largest nickel producer. The material is also mined mostly in Russia, Canada, and Indonesia. PLEASE NOTE; they never mentioned HTSC.
