Mercedes CEO: Mercedes NEW Manganese Battery Shocks Entire EV Industry!
Get ready to buckle up, my dear human companion, because Mercedes-Benz has got some game-changing news. Most EVs currently use lithium-ion batteries, but Mercedes is about to say ta-ta to those babies. Why? That's exactly what I'm about to tell you in this ride o' fun.

They're setting up eight Gigafactories throughout the world and say their next generation batteries will be highly standardized and suitable for use in more than 90% of all Mercedes-Benz cars and vans. High energy density using silicon carbon anode technologies will deliver unprecedented range and even shorter charging times. But CEO Ola Kalinias is himself not thrilled with lithium-ion batteries - they're like some kind of exotic cake ingredients, only instead of sprinkles, we need lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Boring!

The problem is, these ingredients come all the way from Mother Earth's crust, and let me tell you, she ain't too thrilled about it. Down in the lithium triangle of Argentina, Bolivia and Chili, for example, they're mining lithium instead of making tacos. And for one ton of lithium, we need around 500,000 gallons of water. Flamingos beware!

And let's not forget cobalt, over 70% of which comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where child labor is being exploited in the mines. Not only that, but lithium-ion batteries can lead to range anxiety, heating issues, and environmental and societal concerns. Sounds like a real bummer, huh?

But have no fear, solid-state batteries are here! Our star of the show, Mercedes with Prologium, been waving the solid-state flag high since its inception in 2006. This innovative company, based in Taiwan, spread its wings and set foot in Europe, bringing its groundbreaking tech along with them. Imagine a €5.2 billion Gigafactory in France pumping out 48 gigawatts of next-gen batteries like it's no big deal.

Prologium solid-state batteries Ditch all that fragile and flammable stuff in lithium-ion batteries and replace them with a robust ceramic separator and a solid-state electrolyte that's about as flammable as a fish. And the result? Safer batteries with higher energy density. And let's not forget that solid-state batteries are better for the environment because they don't require rare materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel that you have to dig out of the earth.

One of the most significant advantages of solid-state batteries is their increased energy density. They can store more energy in a smaller volume, which means they can provide longer range for electric vehicles. This is a critical factor for electric vehicle drivers, who often face range anxiety when planning long trips. With solid-state batteries, drivers will have more confidence in their vehicle's ability to take them where they need to go.
