    Well, it’s a Chinese lab claiming to have it. So, I guess I’ll just wait for the proof.

      Yup. I’d wait regardless of source, but it’s extra sus coming from a Chinese lab since they like to… stretch the truth sometimes.

      Huge leap forward if the process is in the same ballpark expense wise. Being able to reduce a cars battery by 50% would reduce the prices by at least 5k, and likely have longer range because of the reduced weight.

      Edit : still very experimental. Battery only retains that energy density for 300 charges. This is an improvement from an earlier 50 cycles, but not really viable either.

    There needs to be a metric for how many gallons of water/kg the fire department will need to spray to extinguish the car.
