They sing "anything you can do, I can do better" to today's lithium-ion batteries. Here are the companies developing them and when they say they'll deliver.

Solid state batteries have been "a few years away" for the past 20 years.

[JustAnotherHo]

Easily one of the best car hosts ever. No gimmicks, straight to the point, SOLID information Stated clearly.

[charlesballiet]

feel like ive been hearing about solid state batteries since 2012, just another decade away

[jonnyares]

Finally, a guy who can explain things in less than 10
Min. Nice job!

When I can drive 450 miles, stop and completely refuel inside of 10 minutes, and get back on the road and drive another 450 miles, THEN I'll want an electric car.

Dendrites are a problem with Lithium Ion, the liquid electrolyte allows it. Solid state batteries actually solve the dendrite problem as the dendritic growth is stopped by the solid medium.

Cooley was always my favorite car show/video host behind the old school top gear/grand tour guys. Hope we see more from you again. Especially loved your reviews.

My friend works the national research council in Canada I met his colleague whose job it was to solely find a workaround the batteries whose patents are owned by oil companies. He said it was not a conspiracy that the oil companies owned the patents on Superior batteries.

Man, this guy is a great salesman! His clear articulation, perfect hand gestures, etc. are very impressive.

Always a good day when we get a Cooley video.

[bogdanmihaicazacu]

Oh my god, I haven't seen this guy since I was watching CNET, back in 2008-2009. Nice to see you dude.

[louisgiokas]

Yes, the latest I have heard is that they are at least 10 years away. I have been following this for some time and the answer always seems to be the same. Scaling these new technologies up to industrial scale is hard. And don't forget, we have about 300M cars in the US alone.

[babyfacedkayos]

I haven’t heard his voice in years. It’s comforting to know old journalists are still doing good work.

[alegio]

Met Brian Cooley a few years ago and he was extremely nice and really passionate about what he does.

[Ksilva]

Hey nice to see you back Coolie cheers from Sri Lanka

[joelitofbi]

Cooley is back! Back again!!! We've missed you!

[jshepard]

Just bought the Rav4 Prime. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to move on from that vehicle (6-7 years) the EV market will have improved to the point where it makes sense to go to an all electric vehicle. Not just the solid state batteries, but the charging infrastructure as well.

[kedduff]

This guy has a great speaking voice and enunciates well. His voice is very nice to listen to.

[GRRAPTOR]

You are a truly great speaker. Thanks for making this informative and entertaining video.

When Brian Cooley reports, you set everything aside and listen. I enjoyed the CNET call-in days because he could spin anyone's question into an answer with quality insight perspective.
