I know there’s a lot of hyperbole in this field. We often hear about these kinds of “revolutions”.
But I honestly think this is quite revolutionary and that something like this design will eventually be the norm.
It’s similar to how we use many different kinds of capacitors on PCBs. Capacitors that are good for reducing high frequency noise is not cost effective for reducing low frequency noise.
The only challenge is developing two complementary chemistries. The EV battery market probably wasn’t big enough for that kind of specialisation of battery chemistries until now. Car/battery makers had enough on their plate to optimise one chemistry. But going forward I think this approach will be more and more common.
