Such an informative article — SNORT! The author conveniently omitted critical information:
1. Energy density of the new batteries. Are they closing in on hydrocarbon fuels? Or still at 1/13 of hydrocarbons?
2. Life of the battery
3. Dependence on China for materials. How convenient the author left that out.
4. Dependence on African child labor for cobalt.
5. Recyclability of the new batteries.
6. And biggest of all, where is all the power coming from to charge these batteries?

7. Infrastructure, charging stations, power plants
