Lithium is here to stay A common misconception is that there will be a technology that is even better than lithium-ion batteries which will emerge as the true winner to provide clean power and mobility solutions. TechMet believes that the chances of this are slim.
The automotive world has essentially chosen its pony and funded it to the tune of over half a trillion dollars (and counting). A completely new technology that is not part of the Li-ion battery ecosystem would have to be not just marginally better, but superior by many factors (i.e. safer, cheaper, using more abundant materials, etc.) to convince automotive OEMs that they should write off their now significant Li-ion investments9
