Bosch, a German electronics company, said that by 2020, the company will launch a solid-state battery in the market, doubling the battery life of electric vehicles, and the cost will reach the current battery.
Today, the cheapest electric car that costs around $30,000 is usually less than 100 miles.
Once commercialized, this new battery can provide affordable electric vehicles with a charging range of more than 200 miles at a lower price.
With Bosch's acquisition of Seeo, a California startup, the development of this new battery is accelerating, and Seeo already has sample batteries for this battery.

According to Seeo, they have come up with a new way to make lithium batteries without a liquid electrolyte.
The battery does not need a cooling system and will not catch fire like a traditional lithium ion battery.
For example, compared to the batteries of the Tesla Model S, they are also much lighter in weight and much lower in manufacturing costs. The Tesla Model S battery weighs 1,200 pounds and costs $12,000.
"The beginning of disruptive
Up technology is meeting the broad range of system knowledge and financial resources of multinational companies, "said Dr.
Volkmar Denner, chairman of the management committee of Robert Bosch.
Automakers and suppliers have been working hard for years to make more powerful batteries. Michigan-
To start Sakti3 (
James Dyson invested $15 earlier this year)
Quantumscape is also working on solids.
National batteries for electric vehicles in cooperation with GM and Volkswagen respectively.
But according to MIT's technical review, some other battery-like energy storage capabilities-at least the size needed for electric vehicles-are already below what Seeo has achieved.
The news follows public emissions.
The cheating scandal shows that 11 million Volkswagen engines emit 40 times more smoke than is allowed
Form pollution.
Analysts said that as automakers strive to reach strict federal fuel regulations in the next decade, this could lead to an increase in hybrid and electric vehicle production.
It is reported that more than three of all new cars in Europe are electric vehicles, most of which are plug-in cars. in hybrids.
If Bosch is able to do this, it may be able to dominate in a very profitable market.
