    Factorial’s advanced solid-state battery cells also proved ultra-fast charging from 15% to 90% in just 18 minutes

    That sounds quite underwhelming for a solid-state battery. But the energy density is great (375 Wh/kg according to the article).

    Last September, Mercedes-Benz drove a modified EQS over 745 miles (1,200 km) using Factorial’s solid-state battery cells.

    It appears that mercedes is at least 6 month ahead with the implementation.

      Yeah, I think they should post those in kWh and miles/km along with the percentages. Hyundai’s 800V battery has been doing 10 to 80% for a while now. But that probably means less energy/autonomy gained.
