I'm not trying to be jaded but I've been hearing about solid state batteries for over a decade now, and in the real world they've made it as far as phone power banks I think.

Tesla, GM, Kia/Hyundai, plus the Chinese have all shown that you can sell a lot of EVs using exisiting battery tech and some even make money doing it. Plus Rivian's R2 might very well put them into a different sales category as well, again using exisiting battery tech.

But you're right, the battery landscape is changing fast, it'll be really interesting to see what the next few years bring.

They have solid state batteries in motorcycles now.

Makes sense, if EVs are better, people will buy them. No reason at all for bans, bans just solidify opposition. Keep the .govs finger off the scale and let the market figure it out.

Why just limit this to EVs? Yes, that’s a rhetorical question, too many in government have been bought by the legacy auto makers.
