If this isn’t just corporate hype, this could be great for making smaller batteries, hopefully less resource intensive.

Oh another huge groundbreaking battery technology that will very soon change the world!!!

Let me just log that with the 8436 times I’ve read that in the last 2 decades.

Over the last two decades battery technology has increased DRASTICALLY. So the cynicism isnt entirely deserved.

It has; but afaik it has been more through incremental improvements rather than huge technological leaps.

Not exactly. Those technological leaps are spread throughout. It just looks like its entirely incremental even though its not really. It takes time to develop things and along the way the existing tech is refined.

I know battery tech is progressing and lithium ion is way advanced, but every month I see a bait article claiming they are revolutionizing the tech and this new technology will DOUBLE or TRIPLE the liion battery… Especially the solid state battery articles. It’s always bait

It takes time to develop things. And solid state batteries like this really are promising.

Still waiting on those miracle molten salt batteries that are going to revolutionize long term energy storage.

If I had a nickel for every groundbreaking battery technology discovered, I could make my own groundbreaking discovery! Just trust me this time

You’d certainly have an adequate supply of nickel for the required metallurgy…

Some of those were dangerous as hell and we won’t see them in consumer use ever, unless somebody wants a very expensive frag grenade.

I’m carefully optimistic. A new “battery tech breakthrough” is reported on every few months without anything coming out of it, but solid state batteries has been talked about for a while and might be the one to actually take over for LiPo (in some circumstances, at least). The tech looks promising, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this technology matures.

This is more than a “breakthrough” IMO. Manufacturers have been eyeing and researching solid states for a long time now. It’s not just a lab toy.

And according to the article, some of these are going on sale later this year.

Don’t trust reports, or anything really, coming out of China at face value. Product in hand, undoctored video proof, lab tests done by a trusted group.

A solid-state battery developer in China has unveiled a new cell that could help change the game for electric mobility.

Oh yeah? Again?

Tailan did not mention any specific plans for passenger vehicle integration yet, but did state its latest generation of all-solid-state battery cells are vehicle grade. If the company is able to scale this technology large enough for consumer vehicles while keeping prices down…

Ah, so more vaporware. Same as usual. Come find me when these technologies actually exist.
