Panasonic to produce solid-state battery for drones by 2029
Tesla supplier unveils plans as Toyota and others focus on EV uses

We heard this one too many times. This now became “I believe it once I see it” thing.
Defiantly ill believe it when i see it.
Its probably difficult to produce safely... fuck them for wanting to ensure good products being made
2029 seems a bit far out to try to plan for
It's almost 2024. I guarantee they are already refining not only the 3nm node for the next Samsung Galaxy device, but the 2nm for something in like 2028 and actually planning 14Å as well
So I guarantee Samsung plans 10+ years ahead
I'm more curious about Hondas solid state battery for an electric car.
All-solid-state batteries are considered safer than the lithium-ion ones widely used in EVs because they do not use flammable organic solvents. Solid-state batteries also have higher potential energy density, which can translate into extended driving ranges for EVs. But they are more expensive and more difficult to mass produce.
Panasonic says its solid-state battery can withstand tens of thousands of charging cycles. Conventional lithium-ion batteries, meanwhile, generally last for a few thousand charging cycles.
My fire department (and most others) game plan is just protect exposures until its done burning. Giant heavy fireproof blankets exist to cover burning electric cars, but few if any departments have them.
This is why I think Toyota is full of shit. Toyota is not a battery company, nor does it yet produce Electric Vehicles, yet we’re supposed to believe in just four years they’ll be ready to mass produce the holy grail of batteries in sufficient quantity, quality and price for cars, when an actual battery company is not promising them for another two years, and where safety is not a concern?
Toyota has nothing to sell, is way behind everyone else, and has to resort to FUD to try to discourage people from buying other brands
