Seems like these battery tech articles come out every few months promising “game-changing”, “record-breaking” or “new-era” in battery technology.
It’s the same old thing. Big promises...nothing more. Until batteries can charge in the same amount of time as pumping gas and get a range of 300+ miles, it’s not “game-changing”. More like “gas-lighting”.
... along with collaborators technology stolen by Chinese undergrads from leading international institutions.
the pictures convinced me. invest a billion.
it’s within the real of physics to get 20K cycles and 390 Wh.
If/when it goes to production, even if it’s NOT low cost, it will change the world.
20K cycles = 57.8 years with a daily charge/recharge. Probably 100 years in a car usage.
EVs are still crap , go for a drive and all you do is look for places to charge and if you break down no one knows how to fix it etc etc etc
Charging stations have tooooooooo many rules and the big one is you can’t charge about 80% so there goes your mileage right there and charging at a station costs a ton
Meanwhile, almost half of existing homes in the US still have a 60A service.
If you want to charge from home the cost will depend on where the power enters your home and where you want to park your car for charging and it will be thousands of dollars
“A new strategy for all-solid-state lithium batteries enhances energy density and extends lifespan by using a special material that removes the need for additional additives.”
cool! ... oh wait, commercial all-solid-state lithium batteries don’t exist yet ...
They want everyone to buy an EV, but why should I buy when the new technology will make it worthless and obsolete? Why should I spend money on something that will soon be in the crusher?

If they ever make the affordable near perfect batteries, it will change the world, there are so many constant supposed breakthroughs that surely in 5 or 10 years some of them will succeed.
Another monthly “breakthrough” in lithium technology.
Free Beer tomorrow.
