Now, that I think of it: we haven't had our 2-3 weekly battery revolutions yet, and now it's Friday already. I mean, what is wrong with all you battery researchers?

It's been foretold by ancient prophecies. Burn it all down. The factories, the banks, everything. Return to monke. Reject technological poltergeists.

No numbers in the article, so I'm going to assume that a modern smartphone would chew through several hundred of these per day and an EV would need a battery the size of a house.

So to top up on my battery, I'll have to throw my phone into the pond?
