3. As these batteries age, the shape of the lithium electrode has been changing, growing in weird, organic ways. The lithium is forming what are called dendrites, branching structures of metal that literally grow into the solid electrolyte. Eventually, those dendrites grow long enough to reach through to the other side of the electrolyte, shorting out the battery pack.
4. Perhaps the biggest drawback of all is cost. Solid-state batteries not only require higher densities of rare metals, but their construction technique is wholly different from that of today's lithium-ion cells. That means new factories, new procedures, and new benefits of scale manufacturing that are still being invented. There is, however, potential for these batteries to be even cheaper—eventually. "The first commercialization of a solid-state battery will not be cost-competitive with [today's] lithium-ion batteries; it will come at a cost premium,"
