Not quite solid state but a range game-changer.

If this is accurate then it's a big step towards higher energy density - but at a significant cost (for now). https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/05/...kwh-semi-solid-state-battery-600-miles-range/
The battery cost will make it a self limiting technology. "The cost of the 150kWh battery is reportedly as much as the ET5 sedan itself. "

Solid state batteries have been "next year" for the past 5 years. A "semi-solid state" battery is a trade off and comparable to a lead-acid gel cell in that technology. Easier to build than a true solid state battery, but not achieving the goals of a solid state battery. Might be a game changer if the costs come way down.
