==In development==
The highest power Hall-effect thruster in development ({{As of|2021|lc=on}}) is the [[University of Michigan]]'s 100 kW X3 Nested Channel Hall Thruster. The thruster is approximately 80 cm in diameter and weighs 230 kg, and has demonstrated a thrust of 5.4 N.<ref>{{Cite web |title=X3 – Nested Channel Hall Thruster |url=http://pepl.engin.umich.edu/project/x3-nested-channel-hall-thruster/ |publisher=Plasmadynamics & Electric Propulsion Laboratory, University of Michigan |access-date=27 April 2021 }}</ref>

Other high power thrusters include NASA's 40&nbsp;kW [[Advanced Electric Propulsion System]] (AEPS), meant to propel large-scale science missions and cargo transportation in deep space.<ref>Daniel A.
