The future of solid-state batteries • Energy Tech Summit

Earlier this year Will Tope spoke on a panel at the Energy Tech Summit in Bilbao, Spain.

He was on a panel discussing the future of solid-state batteries with Arfa Karani, PhD, Casper Peeters, Yan Zhu and Mike O’Kronley.

There were a couple of key issues that were discussed, which remain increasingly important right now

• Pathways to Commercialisation
  Identifying what customers actually want from solid state batteries and the timeframe and pathways to adoption. It’s critical to zoom in on a limitation of incumbent tech, and find a partner who finds that weakness very painful.
• How we nurture transparent and holistic data sharing
  Avoiding the temptation to rely on isolated KPIs and ensuring we are informing the industry as better informed investors and customers are good for everyone.If you’d like to listen to the recording it’s available here
