This is the real next step, every other battery hasn't made it to production, but if they're sending out working EV batteries to EV manufacturers and have production line running then it's finally real.
And as soon as Korea starts mass producing long range, quick charge solid state batteries, the factories in China are going to start mass-producing them as well.
Regardless of what it means politically, this is fantastic news, I didn't know they were actually producing them beyond prototype stage into commercial production.
Heellll yeah.
Yeah I was excited by https://www.amazon.com/Yoshino-Solid-State-B4000-SST-Generator/dp/B0CPPKFXP3 and although available a bit niche but it ramping into production where its going to be high volume. Finally a battery tech that has made it to market.
I don't trust it. Off brand looking name. Has the high price, but then their upcharge for a few cheap looking solar panels is like a ridiculous $1400.
thats fine but I found out about it from a guys youtube where he ordered one and put it to the test. the guys channel has mostly been about his construction of a super efficient house with batteries and solar and such so I trust it exists as a product. not saying to anyone to buy it but was just showing they exist and are being sold. its not a wait and see battery technology anymore.
Are you talking about Matt Ferrel from Undecided?
Yeah....he doesn't know a lot about batteries, really. He's also doubled back after having some battery teardown reports shown to him and now says it doesn't seem likely yoshino is using a real solid state battery.
So no. It isn't likely "yoshino" gets to be the first to market with a real solid state battery in their product.
I have no doubts it exists as a product. I have doubts about its battery. I'd like a big transportable battery backup device, but I wouldn't want to spend over $1,000 on such a thing if they battery is bad after 10 years. I can buy a gas generator for $500 and it will work fine for over 20 years without an issue. The battery just makes it much more convenient since there's no worry of running out of gas and it's silent and runs indoors.
So its like the first thing out from this tech and the point of this tech is longer lasting batteries. Well and lighter. Anyway, again, the point is the tech is here.
The tech is here. I don't believe that it's in that psu.
ok. thats fine. im not a shill for that product its only an example. we are agreed the tech is out of the lab and being manufacturered and sold and is no longer a batter vaporware. Its incredible and a rare hopeful spot for nowadays.
