In August 2025 a Mercedes-Benz EQS drove 1,205 kilometres from Stuttgart to Malmö on a single charge and arrived with roughly 85 miles still in the pack. It was running a solid-state battery, the technology Toyota, Volkswagen, Samsung SDI, CATL and BYD have collectively put more than $20 billion into. Yet as of today, not a single production car ships with a true all-solid-state cell. We break down how the technology actually works, the three failure modes that have kept it stuck, who is genuinely close to building it, and why semi-solid cells already on Chinese roads may matter more in the short run.

@psantacl You have my vote

It’s been a few years since I last visited a gas station. I don’t miss the experience. I genuinely wonder if anyone actually enjoys going to one.

Vacation tip for EV drivers: avoid charging on highways if you want to save money. Drive just 1–5 km off the motorway and you can often save up to 30%. As a bonus, you’ll likely be charging at a supermarket or shopping centre instead of standing at a service station.

@AlejandroCence2 Madrid could be the best city in the world to ride a bike! Large roads, no hills, great weather all year long! Unbeatable
