Graeme Purdy: 作为Ilika Technologies的CEO,我认为固态电池是电动汽车的未来。与传统的锂离子电池相比,固态电池具有更高的能量密度,这意味着电动汽车在相同重量的电池下可以行驶更远的距离。此外,固态电池的功率密度更高,可以实现更快的充电和放电速度。最重要的是,固态电池本质上更安全,这意味着我们可以减少车辆对电池组的机械保护,从而减轻车身重量并降低成本。我认为,固态电池不仅能提升电动汽车的性能,还能降低其成本,使其更具吸引力。我们公司Goliath计划的目标正是实现这些优势,推动电动汽车的普及。我相信,在未来几年内,固态电池将逐渐取代传统的锂离子电池,成为电动汽车市场的主流选择。我们正在努力通过技术创新和工艺改进,加速这一进程,为消费者提供更安全、更高效、更经济的电动汽车解决方案。 Graeme Purdy: 我认为固态电池技术将通过几个关键方面改变电动汽车的格局。首先,从技术角度来看,固态电池将作为下一代电池技术推出,这意味着制造商需要在其生产设施中实施不同的工艺。例如,在电极涂层和电池组装方面需要进行修改。其次,在商业方面,固态电池有望降低电动汽车的成本。我们与Balance Batteries合作进行的建模显示,在现代车辆中使用固态电池可以将电池组的材料成本降低约2500英镑。我认为,这些成本节省将使电动汽车更具竞争力,并有助于弥合电动汽车和内燃机汽车之间的价格差距。我相信,随着固态电池技术的不断成熟,我们将看到电动汽车的性能和经济性得到显著提升,从而加速电动汽车的普及。
