    They are being made, CATL is already making solid state batteries that break with traditional Lithium batteries on both price and safety.
    Your comment is both ignorant and misleading.

      Solid state too? I know they started mass producing sodium-ion which is a huge deal but hadn’t heard abt solid state lithium.

          To be clear, I have a fair bit of confidence in CATL’s roadmap as they have delivered steadily over the years.

      Your comment is both ignorant and misleading.

      “Less talking. More X,” is a cliche that doesn’t imply that there is zero “X.”

      I think you’re fundamentally misunderstanding their comment and then attributing your mistake to them as if it’s their mistake.

        Batteries is probably one of thew most researched technologies ATM. So asking for more research and less talking when the progress of actual research is publicized is just moronic idiotic, and everything else describing ignorance.

          The comment is satire. You get reports about amazing batteries about every month, yet most pretty much all of them never went into production. It has been like that for years, since I was a teenager at the very least. And what has happened since then was pretty much refinements to Li-Ion and the commercialization LiFePO.

              It usually is at least a decade. New modern technology and manufacturing processes take years to decades to get up to speed because of all the hiccups and surprises they find along the way.

          You called their comment “ignorant and misleading.” Do you actually stand behind those words?

          So asking for more research and less talking when the progress of actual research is publicized is just moronic idiotic, and everything else describing ignorance.

          They didn’t ask for “more research.” They were asking for more of these cheap and effective batteries to be available for them to purchase.

            Less talk and more delivery is the same as increasing investments in research and production even more than they already are. To deliver even better batteries even faster requires more research. I was using the logical conclusion of what was said.
            So yes I absolutely 100% stand by my original comment, because there is absolutely a lot more than talking, when it’s the area that is probably seeing some of the heaviest research for more than 2 decades now. And there absolutely is delivering too.

            Of course we all want even better and cheaper batteries, it’s a braindead comment to make. I also wish there were more pink unicorns.
