CATL is talking about Solid State this year.  I guess that it will be commercialised in next 2 years.

Porsche was the 1st Company within VW Group to launch EV.  That's likely a collaboration with its investee, RIMAC.

It is not surprising that Solid State will start from Porsche/Audi.

I will take all these with a pinch of salt.
These are difficult technical, material engineering and manufacturing hurdles that will need to be slowly sort out one by one. Before it's in a car, i would think maybe 2028 or so.

Lot of hype articles out there.

I am familiar with PRC product development cycle.

Once they start talking about it, it will be released soon.

Just like CATL talking about 800v archi.

Next cycle of PRC EV will move on to 800v archi which will reduce fire risk substantially.

We'll see lor.
This is not digital technology, material engineering doesn't really move so fast. 

All these architecture stuff was just not incorporated cos there was no need for it to do so when EV adoption is just starting. It's just something already in the pipeline. 


Anyway SS batteries are as with all new things, overhyped. More importantly is how to refine existing technologies.

About one in three new cars registered in Singapore from January to May was an electric vehicle (EV) – nearly double the 2023 figure of 18.1 per cent.

The latest available information from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) shows that of the 14,802 new cars registered from January to May, 4,819 units – or 32.6 per cent – were EVs.

In terms of incentives, buyers of new EVs get up to $40,000 in rebates – $15,000 through the EV Early Adoption Incentive and up to $25,000 from the enhanced Vehicular Emissions Scheme.

Notably, there are more models that qualify for the Category A COE, which tends to be cheaper than the Category B COE meant for more powerful cars and EVs.

Brands like BMW, BYD, Hyundai, Kia, MG and Tesla have introduced models in Category A in 2024.

The range of EVs available spans compact hatchbacks, sedans, sport utility vehicles and multipurpose vehicles.

In terms of price points, they start from the Aion ES Electric at $137,988 with COE, going up to the Rolls-Royce Spectre at over $2.2 million with COE.

BYD is the top-selling EV brand in Singapore.

no need to conduct any polls about EV

Sinkies have voted with their wallet

IMHO.

About 1 in 2 (1.9) is a Hybrid. 
There are 58% more Hybrid sales than EV. 
About 67% prefer non-EV.
