As per a recent news report that has been published by Auto Car, it has become apparent than the Mercedes EQ Sedan is being tested with a new Solid State Battery that can easily deliver close to about 1,000 Km. The First production car that would be using the new battery innovation would tentatively be launched before the end of the decade. So it’s apparent that the new Battery platform would go through extensive testing before being actually fitted to a vehicle.
