    Battery tech has still come a long way since say 10 years ago, even though the “next gen” stuff hasn’t made it to scaled production. Looks like this is the beginning of scaled production, though.

      Production is a tiny link in the supply chain.

      According to the article they’ve sent them to manufacturers for testing and that’s it.

      Even if they were able to make them they’d still be impossibly expensive for decades, as the implications of such a technology would be gargantuan.

        Nah, see the battery density graph here. Batteries have made great progress already, and it’s accelerating because suddenly there are trillions of dollars on the line for anyone that can make big strides in battery technology.
