battery energies are moving from lithium-ion to solid-state batteries, they are a form of new energy away from fossil fuels, clean(er) energy

different batteries technologies:

  1. solid-state batteries (i.e employed by quantamscape - no fully working protocol yet as of now)
  2. sodium-ion batteries (i.e CATL, chinese battery giant)
  3. stationary storage via iron-air (i.e Form Energy)

some startups:

  • Sila, partnering with Mercedes-Benz to produce materials for EV batteries starting in 2025.

macro:

  • more funds and loans/grants to battery makers in US through IRA

economics of batteries:

  • it is a cost game. game to further eke out greater performance at lower costs

curiosities and qns:

  1. find out what is solid state batteries or solid state technology
  2. what makes up a battery fundamentally
