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.
And the increase in power density in LFP batteries will be a great thing given their cost, longevity and safety profile.
Tell me once it's on the market. Been reading about better battery technology for years, and nothing happens.
Battery capacity has tripled in the last decade
