I tried to read this and failed.
That’s over 26 ounces per vehicle. Current market price and multiply by millions of vehicles…..that’s a lot of greenbacks.
Direct silver intensity for GBT’s specific design is not confirmed.
Samsung SDI’s leading solid-state architecture uses a silver-carbon (Ag-C) composite anode, approximately 5 grams of silver per cell, and roughly 200 cells per pack, producing around 1 kilogram of silver per 100 kWh of battery capacity. In a mid-size EV with a 75 kWh pack, that is roughly 750 grams of silver per vehicle. Current liquid lithium-ion EVs use between 25 and 50 grams of silver per vehicle, primarily in electrical contacts, sensors, and thermal management. Solid-state architecture at Samsung SDI’s silver intensity would represent a 15x to 30x increase per vehicle in silver content.
Just more Chinese Propaganda Of Crap
I keep hearing about these battery ‘breakthroughs’, going back DECADES now, yet they never seem to make it to mass production.
Perhaps it’s because something to do with having to operate in -30F to +120 conditions, getting the crap shaken out of them, and God knows what else, has something to do with it.
How does one know this is propaganda and nonsense? The powers that be (i.e. “The big boys”, “The elites”, or “The big money” would have gone all in on silver BEFORE this news broke.) would already be positioned for a massive silver breakout and would be selling into the surge. Hasn’t happened.
These are the first crude batteries, and the technology should improve quickly. If someone can make a battery that fits under the back seat that charges in 5 minutes, and drive a small motor in each wheel, and gives 1000 miles of range, then the electric car will finally be superior and the general public will abandon gas-fueled vehicles.
This will be not because they want to save the planet, but because they want to save money. If cars don’t need big bulky engines and transmissions, then the costs can be cut drastically.
I have advanced stage 4 alternative energy fatigue. Something that was supposed to “save” the environment has had just the opposite effect while upending metals markets and draining capitol and resources from taxpayers and infrastructure that is badly needed. To say I’m sick of this s#!t would be an understatement. The whole western world went nuts over propaganda.
" For this reason Harry does not recommend anyone buying silver if they want to spend that money within a one year time frame"
So instead of using 10kg lithium in a EV car at a cost of $300- for the lithium these genius are going to use 750 grams of silver at a cost of $2,000-?
While silver-based solid-state batteries offer impressive performance—such as 9-minute charging and 900 km ranges—they are largely considered impractical for mass-market electric vehicles due to extreme supply chain limitations and costs.
Due to cost, these batteries are unlikely to be viable for anything other than high-end, luxury vehicles.
Car thieves are watching this development carefully.
The biggest question is what is the time frame the Chinese built into the battery before it self immolates or explodes?
people have been talking about silver-X batteries for as long as I have been alive. And both cold and hot fusion too.
I have a book from the 40s that tells how with Nuclear Power electricity will be too cheap to meter, and we will never be wanting for power again.
Gonna be like copper in buildings. Every trash clown will raid the EV and run off with the batteries.
Will we finally hear “now is a great time to sell,silver” ads on conservatives radio?
They’re stealing copper from our light rail power lines. I imagine those Toyota batteries will be a prime target for silver theft.
