I’m basing it on 5 years of reading new battery tech press releases that don’t come to anything because the math doesn’t work out. Maybe in another five years some of them will work out. As countries start ramping up ev production I worry about lithium production. We’ll see if the sodium batteries pan out. So honestly not that well informed 😂

For the average consumer most EVs are too expensive. The batteries probably aren’t going to get much cheaper due to the rarity and expense of lithium. Finding a better battery tech could make the whole idea of mass electric car ownership make sense. I do wish people would stop caring about the range issue so much tho. Just charge the battery every night and you’ll almost never need more then 80 miles of range

I hope we drop the idea of mass car ownership tho. Effective mass public transit and micro mobility seems like a much safer and more efficient direction to go

Doubtful this will plan out tho. These articles are basically just corporate press releases. A couple of these battery techs might pan out and work at scale
