NGK, seeing which way the wind is blowing, goes after solid state battery tech
Seems like this might be Peak Internal Combustion Engine, at least Japanese spark plug maker NGK is getting prepared for that by researching heavily into solid state battery technology. Their expertise is in ceramics, so they’re looking at a ceramic battery that would be safer than Toyota’s solid state battery, which can emit hydrogen sulfide if damaged. The early 2020s are going to see a lot of new batteries coming out.
