>I look forward to the announcement some day when they figure out how to make them so they won't burn. There may be a solid-state battery chemistry I am unaware of, but the vast majority of them do not burn. That's not strictly true, ANYTHING can burn. But on a human scale using reasonable metrics, solid state batteries are less flammable than the plastic in the interior of the car they are powering. https://www.nasa.gov/aeroresearch/nasa-solid-state-battery-research-exceeds-initial-goals-draws-interest https://www.nasa.gov/aeroresearch/nasa-solid-state-battery-r...
