I don’t have time to watch the video, but I’d be curious to know how any claims about the viability of widespread EV adoption are presented in the context of the three biggest factors I’ve identified in the EV-ICE comparison:

1. Energy density
2. Energy transportability
3. Energy reliability

for ICE vs EV, the claims, if true would astounding.
Essentially in an area the size of a large gas tank, enough power to go 500-600 miles. Of course you could build a 1000 mile car...
100,000 charge cycle life (i.e. will outlast many car body lives). That’s like 20M miles.
Made from non rare-earth material.
11C charging - so basically 0 to 100% in 5-10 minutes.
No combustibility issues.
Cheaper than Lithium batteries. Maybe not cheaper than were Sodium batteries will be in a year

The basic Physics imply that it’s not at the limit of energy density.

For comparison, that 400WH/KG. (lithium is ~ 220-280 now)
