So why carry around five times more battery storage and weight for that 20 %? Are the batteries ready? The excuse “ the batteries aren’t ready ” has been used frequently because it is convenient, and few people bother to check. However, other Li-Ion chemistries have existed for some time, so this claim was not accurate.

Why hes banking on an obscure Chinese electric car company and a CEO who - no joke - drinks his own battery fluid. BYD CEO Wang Chuan-Fu figured out how to make cheaper batteries than the Japanese by replacing machines with migrant workers. By about 2000, BYD had become one of the worlds largest manufacturers of cellphone batteries.
