With a Nickel, Manganese,Cobalt cathode there is only a need for a foil anode made of lithium metal....there is NO graphite at all in these solid state batteries.  I own Western Areas for class 1 nickel and their new mine coming online, Giyani Metals for a sweet Manganese mine and a handful of Copper names....not interested in Cobalt.  This is the future it seems and that future doesn't include graphite.

Last couple of paragraphs from this acticle...S/S battery could be realized...Or not...still many years out.

But if QuantumScape hits its milestones, it intends to have a product reach the electric vehicle market in 2024 or 2025.

Caution is generally warranted around promises of new battery technology, but it’s fair to say that this technology appears to be a little more mature than usual. It also seems to check all the boxes rather than just offering one exciting characteristic with (downplayed) trade-offs. Unless the test data was somehow faked or wildly unrepresentative, this is a compelling technology. Perhaps other companies working in this space are onto something similar and just haven’t publicized it yet. But either way, if a battery like this crosses the finish line, it will be a major leap beyond the incremental progress of recent years.
