The evolution of Xiaomi’s electric car seems to go from strength to strength. After several months filled with rumors, leaks and even real photos of the company’s vehicle, Xiaomi continues its march and although it has been with us for a while, greatly improved.

These are solid state batteries. Such batteries have a fundamental advantage over the most common batteries: the electrolytes responsible for transmitting energy are solid rather than liquid, improving safety, charging times and autonomy.

What makes the new Xiaomi battery so special?

Previously, solid state batteries were offered as: best option in electric car commitment, but it has one big downside: its weight. Solid-state batteries currently equipping electric cars sometimes even heavier than the vehicle itselfand Xiaomi fixed it.

Xiaomi chose to improve the density. up to 10,000 Wh/La figure far above conventional batteries and its main advantage lies in its size: the higher the density, the higher the capacity at a smaller size.

In fact, Xiaomi managed to equip in the laboratory a prototype of the Xiaomi 13, which was launched in Europe last Sunday. 6,000mAh battery. Please note that this device It is marketed with a capacity of 4,500 mAh.i.e. the theoretical improvement that a solid-state one allows more than 30%.

In addition to the improvement in density, Xiaomi’s new solid-state battery also improved resistance to extreme temperatures. When we have sub-zero temperatures, the performance of the battery is much lower, already -20 degrees, the new Xiaomi manages the battery reduce your discharge by more than 20% compared to conventional batteries.

The development of solid-state batteries is considered holy grail of electric mobility. While the company didn’t mention that this technology will be used in your vehicle, it’s likely Yes, they are testing to equip on Xiaomi MS11possible vehicle name.

Of course, Xiaomi has confirmed this for now. Mass production of such batteries is not possible.. We’ll have to wait a few more months to learn more about the company’s electric car, and what kind of batteries will it takebecause it will be a key factor for its commercialization.
