CATL is planning a start-stop battery for trucks using the technology. It has the potential to replace lead-acid batteries. CATL has announced battery pricing at the cell level in volume at $19/kWh.

yeah I don't really think what I've written above is coming. I just expect nothing less from that class than to turn a solution into a new problem. Should have been more explicit about that.

    I see. But sometimes, progress really makes lesser problems than there were before.

    We have cheap and generally eco-friendly solar, we install plenty of wind, and now we have a much more ecological way to store the power, too.

    The rich care about their profits, and if eco-friendly tech delivers that, they'll be all-in. Some fossil kings will try to stop it, but at this point, this trend is irreversible, because others among the rich are ready to destroy them.
