   Will they also make EVs not fire hazards anymore

   full self driving cars with a robo-taxi service will reduce the demand for cars while still delivering the same amount of people-miles each year. robotaxis, along with battery tech like this, will be a game changer because it could reduce the cost of a taxi service to well below the cost of driving an owned vehicle. it will make cities cleaner, safer, and more efficient. So you won't a hundred millions cars sold in the US each year anymore, you will only need maybe 1 million cars produced each year

   how complicated will the process be and how much toxic pollution will it create?

   Another "breakthrough"? Wow… what's this, like the 1,100 breakthrough? I can't wait – face palm.

   How incredible that all our technological infrastructure for the future of energy and transportation is grossly dependent on nations that buy our debt .

   An interesting review of silicon anode batteries, but seriously runs short on what´s going on. Theres also a silicion anode battery manufacturer that runs by the name of ENOVIX, and are running into actual production at a larger scale on year 2024. In late 2023 they will be supplying the US ARMY with their batteries, which have been positively tested for military use: a highly demanding application.🙂

   Guy argues that if every car made was electric, it would be a 1 trillion dollar market, that means the average battery price per vehicle would be over $50k! And THAT is exactly why it is. Average price would have to approximate average engine/transmission prices, so less than $20k

   Don't make a 600m range ev, make a 350 mile range that charges in 5 minutes

    I remember my highschool chemistry teacher was doing her master’s thesis on something to do with this and when she explained some of the concepts to my table (we were nerds ig), I was in awe. It’s awesome to see how battery technology is improving in ways I never imagined.

    Its not just the fact that silicon offers longer range, but it can be charged withing 10 minutes at higher charging rates without any dendrite formations. This combination is the key. Because apart from the major challenge of sourcing sustainable electricity without damaging grid stability, the other problems that EV faces are small range and long refueling time. By achieving this combinations, silicon batteries can replicate the IC engine vehicle's range and refueling experience. Silicon batteries may not be the only future but they sure are here to stay and grow while benefiting EV industry.

    I am very very, very confident that we are going to solve the battery issue. This is like the pioneering years of racing auto racing. Where give these engineers a challenge, and somebody is going to figure out some thing that’s going to beat. I am also very, very confident that battery fires are going to become a thing.

    What funny is many of battery technology is not new, but already developed and tested long time before, but since almost every industry including battery industry were so protective and afraid to lost profits from reduced demand if the new battery is sk durable, many of this tech were buried in secrecy. But since the push of EV more durable battery is what necessary we just began to rediscover it.

    i think borophene is the ultimate material for batteries. perhaps in a dual electrode configuration like dual carbon batteries.

    Just so long as Musk and Republican lithium mining investment shills can keep lithium batteries and not switch to non flammable eco-friendly sodium-ion batteries. (No discontinue investment substance boxes) Oh on Wheels so the rank and file has some excuse to buy it.

    So, what if you could get better than 50% efficiency out of fuel and have the alternative of using concentrated solar to replace the heat source provided by fuel? What of batteries then?

    Dudes and dudettes of the USA network..if ya cannot make a comprehensible, interesting story about mercedes prestige lowering (in fact true, ish) and troubles..why on earth would you even assume ya self smart enough to present truths about baterries? Even 11 yrs old kids know this is a smoke currtain type product. Luring clip makers into saying when on fire just dip the car in a container of water (right. How?) .. one laptop goes a day, another 2 hours..only aa batteries in walkmen in 1992, vi a vannessa huxtable, showed a minor dip in the dontbelieveawordtheysay-image. And as a yank should know, advertising in the sixties photobook showed this stuff already. It ages old, as a concept. Battery is not a product that can be promoted, but even more so it can never be explained by laymen. Cause you have no clue, simple as that. Neither do i, neither do i (only i dont deny taht)

    Super exciting! A 50% jump in energy density at the same cost or lower would be huge! Then we are getting closer to EVs at sensible prices (and thereby a complete conversion away from fossil fuel cars) and electric flight longer than short jumps.

    When it comes to electric planes, I would pass a regulation that every plane had to carry a separate emergency battery with enough power to safely land at the nearest airport. You never know if a lightning strike could discharge your "tanks".
