Just to clarify that the solid-state battery still uses Lithium (but not Lithium-Ion): the article states:
> The electric vehicles being developed by Toyota will have a range more than twice the distance of a vehicle running on a conventional lithium-ion battery under the same conditions
and
> Because solid-state batteries use lithium, an element with limited global reserves, the government will assist in procuring the material.
It seems that Lithium will be the next oil crisis, especially if governments will be directly involved in the procurement...and I agree with parent, we must do better than Lithium. Perhaps good 'ol Hydrogen? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP-ZPM0nKkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP-ZPM0nKkk)
