Solid state battery tech.

I'll believe it when I see it. It's like with card-thin like batteries for mobile phones which I've heard about first 5-6 years ago and still not a single phone uses them. A lot of startups offer incredible things, claim they made prototypes which are fully working etc. and then it turns out it's all bollocks or there's issues with production, materials, usability etc.

The other issue is scalability, to replace all cars with electrics you'd need a feck load of batteries which need to be made somewhere and from something.

And you'd need to upgrade the national grid and increase electricity generation,...
