Big if true. We always hear about batter breakthroughs, and then they just never break through the theoretical wall.

Halving batteries should surely cut the weight. If it managed to do that, we could one day see electric airplanes. The issue now is that batteries are so heavy that they require lots of power to carry them through the air. More power means more battery, which means more weight. The issue is cyclical. So batteries need to be much lighter, and maybe we’ll see some greener air travel in the future!

Can save half their cost. I don’t think even if it gets practical, it’s going to result in cheaper cars.

These are some bold claims. I hope they’re successful. I haven’t been able to find any info about what they will be made of, hopefully something more environmentally friendly than lithium.

More revolutionary battery tech we will never hear about again!
