    What are non-solid state batteries up to, in Wh/kg? Because my car with an 82 kWh battery would need about 215+ kg to reach the same charge with a solid state battery.

      260 Wh/kg in a good modern battery.

      But the reality of SSBs needs to be verified, there already have been scams.

        That’s pretty great, for the solid state battery then. Looked it up and it seems like the battery weighs about 500 kg in my car. Very significant change down to only 215–216 kg.

          not only added range, but think of the even more fun with even better acceleration 😁

                Never had much problems with Teslas in my country. BMWs, Audis, and lately Volvos have been the wreckless (speeding) drivers.

                I myself drive a Volvo, and I think that’s why I’ve started noticing more and more Volvos, and being surprised by their frequent wrecklessness.

                  Drivers of older BMWs and Audis have had a bad reputation for being reckless drivers in my country for at least the last 30 years. Volvo, that’s a new one for me.
