As someone in the industry, I unfortunately highly doubt that the battery is real, at least in the way that they say it is. Individually, all of the claimed specs are within the realm of possibility, but combining all of them in one cell that supposedly does not contain lithium and is cheap to produce? Extremely unlikely.
What I suspect is that they have one or a few expensive laboratory-made cells that fulfill at least the performance claims so they can raise interest, but which are in no way possible to produce at a reasonable price point.
I just cant see how this scam is to work with buddy getting ahead if it is fake. We know what happened with Theranos, you never get away with defrauding billionaires or companies. With a technology like this once an OEM will most def test the battery before putting it into a commercial vehicle.
So, a guy with a PHD thesis on solid state batteries is saying that these results are not as promised
I just watched this, I just want the battery to be real…
