That’s a mouthful, yes?
Let’s break it down in bite-size morsels so it doesn’t sound so intimidating.

Solid Power | A Primer
A potentially revolutionary new technology for car batteries.
SOLID POWER HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS recently thanks to a partnership with BMW and Ford motor companies, who are interested in Solid Power’s solid-state batteries (ASSB) that replace the liquid electrolyte in a conventional lithium-ion battery with a highly stable solid ion-conducting material.
