    What about solid state batteries that can charge in 2 minutes instead of one hour? And have better capacity and a longer life?

      As soon as they figure out how to actually mass produce them at an affordable price, and fix the swelling issues during high charging currents, they’ll be available.

        They’ve been as good predicting when this will happen as Elon has been about FSD.

        It’s always just around the corner.

        Although it really does seem like we might start seeing soon this time at least in low volume expensive things.

      I want a semi-solid state batter that turns kinetic energy into stored charge. I want to be able to drop it on the ground, fire a .45 round into it, and have it immediately be fully charged.
