Research and development are the way forward for EV's and reduction of carbon emissions. Under trump, the USA will fall behind in all the best technologies, as he sells us all out to Big Oli.

'Could' is the operative word here. Scaling up is the next difficulty. Still, its progress.

Cars going from ~300km range to now pushing >800 km range in 5 years or so is not slow change.....

Any headline that read "could revolutionize" translate. This is claickbait garbage with 0 relevance in the next decade.

This is... quite the interesting fact. Maybe, rework this part of the article though?

Better batteries can be made from hemp.

The tech is getting there bit by bit. Soon it will be here and EVswill become a no brainer. Patience

Seems like every week for the last 5 years I’ve read about another break through battery tech that will change everything.

They're backed by Porsche. They already got the funding.

At first I thought this was a schematic of the big ugly ballroom…

EVs are not revolutionary, they're a distraction from taking meaningful climate action, they're greenwashed cars, so that morons can feel good about continuing to contribute to the extinction of humanity.

Thankfully, there are a LOT of options now that aren't Tesla.

If you burn alive in a relatively minor incident because the doors won't open? Yes, that will make me give up Tesla. You're welcome to make another choice.

1) The percentage of EV’s worldwide is still much, much, lower than ICE cars. 2) When an EV goes on fire, the chances of the occupants dying in it are much higher than with an ICE vehicle. You are welcome to drive a lithium-ion battery EV, I’ll give it a miss, thank-you-very-much.

This is the battery technology that could once again make you put off buying an EV while waiting for it to be available in an actual vehicle.

Amprius & Enovix both are both working thru Automotive EV qualifications. Should be breaking news any day.

We've known that the anode is the weak link in battery energy for a while now. Proving that silicon can reliably address that while maintaining a long life span (cycle life) and being easy to mass produce is a different story.
