Years of promises from researchers around the world and yet. here we are, still using the same basic materials from 15 years ago.

I know researchers have to show progress to continue to get funding, but I think we should start measuring them against whether their work makes it into the commercial products.

Imagine your new Tesla model Y having 1100 miles of range, your new Tesla model S having 1600 miles of range and your new Tesla cyber truck tri motor having 2,000 miles of range. Thats possible with this battery tech.

So many better-batteries: I think there must be a severe lack of skills in the commercialisation departments of all these research places!

I fear that, as the battery technology improves and becomes more stable and with much faster charging thus enabling much longer distance vehicular travel, the giant oil conglomerates will do their level best to stifle progression.

Shows clearly that car manufacturers must collaborate to standardize removal modular sizes of batteries. They shouod stay away from battery technology and today's oil companies need to invest their hidden billions into battery manufacturing and retain their position as fuel suppliers. Different technologies within storage will evolve & could replace by hydrogen. Oil companies should stay in the fuels business and if the full ownership of cost of battery is removed from EV, then this will make the EV extremely competitive without need for much subsidy.

500 charge-discharge cycles is not enough. What is the degradation rate observed? Such a short article with bold promises and anecdotal evidence. Here we go again! 🙄

Blah blah blah; let's see it in the REAL world environment.
That's if the oil company's don't come against it.

"500 charge-discharge cycles" means several hundred-thousand miles for an electric car. Sounds quite sufficient. Recharging a phone every 2-3 days for 500 cycles also sounds like plenty for the usual lifetime of phones these days. I do worry about the large number of "breakthrough!" announcements we hear, but that could be seen as good news about the amount of research in battery technology being done.

Why are the companies that claim al those battery capacity breakthroughs not collaborating to introduce the real world to a better battery? It does seem every week some new tech is bragged about, but nothing brought to, or presented to the public. I’m getting older, and would love to see some of these ideas come to market before I die.

Sounds promising. Li-Po batteries from ~6 years ago are already pretty impressive.
