  Some progress is being made, but it hasn’t seen large-scale adoption yet. Which is the point, as I read it.

    It takes time to scale up production, CATL is supposed to deliver in small scale production next year.
    That means the factories for it are already about to be built.

      These press releases are weekly. Naxtra will be 30% cheaper, but also bigger and heavier. The problem here is the damn periodic table, someone should change it.

    The “progress” is typical industry bullshit. See the absolute bullshit around the Donut SS battery.

    Remember when Musk invented a battery with 30% better capacity? It was a 30% bigger battery.

    It takes time to scale production and even more time to adopt a new technology.

  You can’t buy anything with solid state batteries yet, and when you can, they will cost a fortune.

    Uhh you know you can buy an external mag safe battery bank with a solid state battery for like 45 bucks on amazon as well as the big generator ones as well?

    I agree that cost isn’t amazing. You are essentially getting about half the capacity per dollar spent to a standard battery device but also these are in fact more stable for temp swings and damage. Soo… consumer available and not a fortune just need to have justification for it.
