Battery Breakthrough Makes Lithium-Ion Tech 90% Cheaper

[Flyaway]

A battery pioneer has invented a new kind of battery that is 90 per cent cheaper to produce than standard lithium-ion batteries, and potentially much safer.

Hideaki Horie – who has worked on battery technology since 1990 and led Nissan’s development of the Leaf electric car – discovered a way to replace the batteries basic components in order to speed up and simplify the manufacturing process.

Interesting.... presently, 20 000 euros+ for an electric car is way too much for me... hoping for prices to drop...

Not for quite a while yet.

There have been so many breakthrough wonder batteries, Im not getting overly exited...

So you make a world record setting aviation battery and around a year later your bankrupt.

What’s going on inside this industry?

If Lilium is right about their batterie supplier (Customcells) and their promised specific capacity/power output, all current battery suppliers will go bancrupt... (I'm not going to believe this is happening...)

Now if they can make them more easy to recycle. I understand this is a problem with
the electric car batteries.
