All fair points.

It is worth saying that vehicles sporting next-gen solid state batteries are available right now.

Ever since the Goodenough solid state battery announcements years ago, I’ve been anticipating the benefits. According to his team’s research, they had the following attributes:

- Higher energy density than the best liquid electrolyte lithium cells.

- Non flammable.

- Much better resistance to cold temperatures.

- A sodium option that should be much less expensive.

I’m not sure where the Goodenough battery tech is at right now, I’ll have to do some searching and see if it’s progressed…
