This sounds pretty nice, especially if there is any truth to this coming out in the next few months. New battery tech

Looks like promising battery tech. I wish we could see this tech here in the US. I doubt will will see it anytime soon though because of the tax credit battery requirements. I believe would need a US production facility in order to qualify.

Also, I wonder if these will have the same power output and charging limitations as current LFP tech.

Will be interesting to see more on these new batteries.

That article contained a bunch of inaccuracies and was generally confused (Model 2 within a few months??). This article seems been written. Consumers won’t see these vehicles for another year.

Faster charging with longer range and less prone to fire hazard. That's what we want to see.
