I watched it. Basically low temperature ( - 30C ) driving is solved. Much faster charging. Safer than previous gen Sodium battery which is already safer than LFP, and LFP is safer than Lithium Ion.

And a new type of battery package that combines fast charging and slow release battery in one. 175Wh/Kg and working towards 200Wh/Kg in the future as they previous said.

We are not talking of some non-sense or far in the future solid state battery. We are talking about something they will ship soon.

I wonder if Tesla have anything up their sleeves.




Thanks, if they really solve all these, then EV in Canada is going to be a much less headache during the winters.


When I watched it I really thought it hit all the point and now good enough for 95% of all use cases. ( And I dont even particularly like EVs ) Range, Charging Speed, Durability, Safety and working environment. I cant even think of an angle that it is still significantly lacking.

That is on the assumption Canada allows these import. :(
