This is so out there, checks every box imaginable or they’ve done some incredible copy writing.
So then, elephant in the room, where is the catch? It’s it the cost? They haven’t left much else -
- made from geopolitically abundant resources
- unlikely to catch fire
- fully charges in 5 mins
- does not lose capacity over cycles
- retains 99% capacity at -30C and 100C
What is today, April 1st??
- tonyhart7 10mo agooh yes the good old of pick two from good,cheap,fast
- bawolff 10mo ago> [Is] it the cost? The press release also claims: "and demonstrates a lower cost than lithium-ion." !
- impossiblefork 10mo agoFor me the reason I might trust it to some degree is that they're Finns (and Finns don't usually hype things or bullshit), and it's not just one firm. They've got the motorcycle firm (Verge) in the video, they've got the some other guy, so if these guys just went along with bullshit claims they're kind of ruining the image of their company for no reason. I don't understand how it can be done though.
- rootusrootus 10mo ago> They've got the motorcycle firm (Verge) in the video FWIW, they are basically the same company. It is good that there were other cameos from independent customers, though, to help add some possible credibility.
- impossiblefork 10mo agoAh, yes.
- karmakurtisaani 10mo agoOne reason to trust this to some extent is that many car manufacturers are pushing onwards with their solid state battery tech. Youtube channel Just have a think made a video recently on the state of this tech and it does look promising.
