There's an awful lot of new battery tech in labs. Problem is getting it into the real world where it has to be built and maintained by a semi-skilled workforce and then exposed to the idiocies of its users.
And of course which of many competing options to back.
Lucky there is private equity to support new technologies, we'll all freeze if we have to rely on govts to do it.

What’s difficult about reading the link? Extra comment superfluous.

Re: Battery tech
If you don't give people a reason to click on a link, why should they care about what's in it? Its the height of arrogance to think that merely because you mention a link your audience should go to it

I generally do inculde a bit of an extract or quote from the source. But sometimes not. You’ll simply have to decide whether you consider me a reliable/interesting source, or not.

No, doesn't take long, but comment shows that one has actually read the link and highlights why it may be worth reading and perhaps brings forward a point or two of particular interest.

Re: Battery tech
OK so the linked article describes how concrete powder and carbon black are promising materials to create a superconductor battery!
My EV is heavy enough already. I can't see blocks of concrete helping! Maybe for static storage - cheap and easily available materials.

Yes! Good point... remember now, when I read the article.
Also, as pointed out in the comments, author kept using the term "superconductor" by mistake.
Ahem! viewtopic.php?p=606650#p606650
And, if it all works, finally we (some of us!) might not need to get so annoyed by people saying nonsense like: "Electricity is stored in batteries"

Re: Battery tech
Australian researchers have developed a new nanoporous anode which markedly improves the function of a Lithium-Sulphur battery
