RE:Alternate battery technologiesThere's no doubt there will be tech advances on batteries but the ones so far that claim super high mileage also will not disclose anything about their tech. Any new battery design will have to jump through multiple trial hoops over several years before any large carmaker will put all their marbles on the table.
For the time being nickel is the prime distance producer and heat resistant metal thus GM and the Ultium truck battery. Also why Mark has bet half the pot on the steel industry and why I want a buyout by year end.
