Hyundai has filed a patent in the US for a pressurized all-solid-state battery system for electric vehicles (EVs), aiming to enhance battery stability and energy density. The system maintains constant pressure in each cell to ensure stability during charging and discharging, potentially offering a lighter, safer, and more efficient alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Hyundai's move reflects its ambition to be a top EV producer by 2030, as it joins other automakers in the race to develop solid-state battery technology.
