Today, only 1% of the vehicles in the US are electric. What are the underlying reasons, and what does it take to electrify the other 99% of the market?

To explore these questions, we are joined by Dr. William Fitzhugh, Co-Founder & CEO of Adden Energy. He shares his expert insights on the development of solid-state batteries and his company’s groundbreaking tri-layer separator to mitigate lithium dendrite growth, and 3D anode protector layer technologies that are reshaping the battery industry. Dr. Fitzhugh also discusses the future of electric vehicle battery chemistries and the challenges of scaling new technologies from the lab to the road.

We also discuss:

• Strategies for differentiation in the market based on features like fast charging, bidirectional charging, longevity, and cost.
• How Adden Energy utilizes XRD to enhance the research and development of solid-state batteries and how it should be used more for quality control of battery materials
• The potential for solid-state technologies to revolutionize various electric vehicle applications, including passenger cars, long-haul trucking and fleet vehicles
