Li Battery Breakthrough

A big potential risk in the EV era is that with the big dollars being put into battery research, there is a chance that alternatives to LI-Ion could come around quicker and be commercialised faster, thus despite long term EV growth, there was always an cloud Li could be replaced. However, some smarty pants at MIT may have reduced that risk by identifying a way to produce Li metal batteries .
