What I mean is that a battery doesn’t have wheels. It can’t go anywhere, so you can’t give it a range rating unless you put it in a vehicle. Any battery range rating is bullshit.
If you take an ebike with a range of 200 km and take it’s battery out and put it on a Nissan Leaf, it won’t go 20 km. If you take a Cadillac Escalade battery and put in a Leaf somehow, it will definitely achieve a lot more than the 600 miles it did on the SUV.
I can assure you solid matter can burn well. The problem with battery fires is that they’re made of pyrophoric metals such as lithium and sodium, which makes extinguishing the fires extremely difficult. It looks like it is still lithium based.
Yeah, I’m sure it’ll all drop in practical use. But if the energy density is anywhere near that, the making smaller batteries would be great.

Yeah, we get that. An electric generator (battery backup) gets 0km/h… Hopefully
At that density it better comes hugely fire resistant. Otherwise we’ll have China syndromes.
It’s solid State, so it should be safer than traditional batteries.

Yep, but we don’t know yet for sure, fingers crossed that they won’t be causing massive fires.
