I'm carefully optimistic. A new "battery tech breakthrough" is reported on every few months without anything coming out of it, but solid state batteries has been talked about for a while and might be the one to actually take over for LiPo (in some circumstances, at least). The tech looks promising, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this technology matures.
I know battery tech is progressing and lithium ion is way advanced, but every month I see a bait article claiming they are revolutionizing the tech and this new technology will DOUBLE or TRIPLE the liion battery... Especially the solid state battery articles. It's always bait
Don't trust reports, or anything really, coming out of China at face value. Product in hand, undoctored video proof, lab tests done by a trusted group.
A solid-state battery developer in China has unveiled a new cell that could help change the game for electric mobility.
Oh yeah? Again?
Tailan did not mention any specific plans for passenger vehicle integration yet, but did state its latest generation of all-solid-state battery cells are vehicle grade. If the company is able to scale this technology large enough for consumer vehicles while keeping prices down...
Ah, so more vaporware. Same as usual. Come find me when these technologies actually exist.
We'll do fine with 250-300 mile range if charging infrastructure is improved. Use further battery breakthroughs for reducing weight, not increasing range.
Though the possibility of fully electric airplanes is exciting.
Increased capacity is reduced weight since now you need less battery for came range. Although I doubt these claims. Improvements in technology are usually marginal, not 5x or more.
They probably won't care about keeping costs down if they are developing 1300 miles range batteries that's gonna be for industrial and military applications. Maybe some very high end consumer use.
