that is roughly 750 grams of silver per vehicle

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.

Toyota signed the deal six months ago with Samsung s Silver battery. Full production by end of year….a primary reason for the current Silver shortage.
