Interesting... Solid electrolytes open doors to solid-state batteries

... brings me back to a fantasy about an EV again. Here is a noob question: how adaptable would a car like a Gen1 Volt be to such a battery? Would the charging hardware or software(?) need changes? Would the car be in capable of running? In short, is it more like 93 octane versus 87 octane, or like gasoline versus diesel?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
