Show me an article promising substantially better battery tech in less than 5years and I will show you a steaming hot pile of crap.
We're past that point. Every claim you heard in the last 10 years has been researched to its end. Some worked out, some didn't, but we didn't need all of them. Just one or two breakthroughs are enough.
These are going into production this year They're not lab experiments anymore.
Want to join me on an online betting platform and wager against my statement that you will not be able to purchase what is described here in 2years? We've seen these kinds of promises over and over again with battery tech. Slow incremental changes yes. These types of breakthrough reports are consistently garbage regardless of how close to market they claim they are. I presume they put these out to stir up investment.
But is this not the tech that Toyota is bring to market ?, they have a working prototype I believe.
This isn't. Toyota is claiming they'll have a solid state battery production ready in a few years, which is a substantial improvement over even what this article is claiming.
Toyota's is being developed largely in house it seems, and while they do have prototypes, they're not really expecting them to be in consumer vehicles until 2027.
This article is talking about the same old liquid technology with just an improved chemistry.
