Boost to silver use -- βThe key drivers that will ramp up demand for EVs are range, charge time, battery life and safety,β Bambrough said. βSamsung's new solid-state battery technology, incorporating a silver-carbon (Ag-C) composite layer for the anode, exemplifies this advancement. Silver's exceptional electrical conductivity and stability are leveraged to enhance battery performance and durability, achieving amazing benchmarks like a 600-mile range and a 20-year lifespan and 9-minute charge.β
He noted that while official numbers are currently unavailable, estimates show that there could be as much as five grams of silver per cell in Samsung's solid-state batteries, meaning βa typical EV battery pack containing around 200 cells for a 100 kWh capacity could require about 1 kg of silver per vehicle.β
