Yeah, I think I've lost track how many articles and youtube videos about amazing "solid state" batteries are just around the corner. But I've not seen one actually materialise.

I mean, it's great if true. But, I'm going to wait and see.

There's been a steady increase in lithium based technologies though. But I do wonder when and where the plateau there might be.

Lithium Ion based batteries have a lot of room to grow still.

Everything out there in cars today can likely still double or triple over the next couple decades.

Everyone says they want a 1000 mile car but they really don't need it. We'll reach an optimal price/battery range in a car and begin reducing the amount of batteries with our current tech before we're selling cars with the full potential a decade or two from now.

And the increase in power density in LFP batteries will be a great thing given their cost, longevity and safety profile.
