We first need solid state batteries. And not just companies advertising them or outright selling scams.
There are already companies manufacturing solid state batteries, it's not like this is a theory, it's still in its early stages but these are real
Now that Samsung is doing it, you can expect the production to ramp up significantly. Hopefully this is going to be like time when Sony started manufacturing LIBs at large scale and changed to world.
I remember hearing about them when they first started late research stages(like figuring out how to scale to mass manufacturing levels.)
Was it.....uhhhhh....snaps fingers what's his name, Dr Goodenough? The guy that was a major player in all our modern battery tech?
Yep, that's him
Nice! Took me the better part of 5mins to dredge his name from the deepest folds of my memory, glad I got it right.
Not only that, there are products you can buy right now with solid state batteries. The first power brick with a solid state battery is actually available for purchase.
