Reply to comment by TimTaga in Scientists have developed a solid-state battery material that doesn't diminish after repeated charge cycles, potentially offering a durable alternative to the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles by unswsydney

I would bet on CATL, I think the Chinese will basically prop that up no matter what and I won't be surprised if they win the battery wars.

I dunno, you could be right but at a glance their battery specs are way behind gmg, in power density, charging speed, materials cost, recyclability, heat dissipation, cycles/lifespan, fire safety. Almost every metric.

Thats why I don't necessarily pick a company. I toss the money in an ETF style China fund thats heavy in CATL, but represents a lot of Chinese energy storage / production sector.
