Tell me once it’s on the market. Been reading about better battery technology for years, and nothing happens.
Yeah, I think I've lost track how many articles and youtube videos about amazing "solid state" batteries are just around the corner. But I've not seen one actually materialise.
I mean, it's great if true. But, I'm going to wait and see.
There's been a steady increase in lithium based technologies though. But I do wonder when and where the plateau there might be.
Lithium Ion based batteries have a lot of room to grow still.
Everything out there in cars today can likely still double or triple over the next couple decades.
Everyone says they want a 1000 mile car but they really don’t need it. We’ll reach an optimal price/battery range in a car and begin reducing the amount of batteries with our current tech before we’re selling cars with the full potential a decade or two from now.

Battery capacity has tripled in the last decade

you’re being downvoted, yet you’re absolutely right.
our current battery technology is shit compared to what a solid state battery would be.
of course there have been advancements but it’s still the same battery technology, just with bigger capacities.
it’s a perfectly good analogy.
