    To be honest, that could be a long way down the line, if ever. Research tends to not pan out more often than not.

    They are working on energy storage not energy delivery, even if they can store the energy in seconds the flow can't get much higher than it already is without out billions of investment in the electricity grid.

    99.999% not happening at all

    No figures in that article

    Flow batteries have been around for years

    No different than the daily battery breakthrough articles we have had for the last 20 years, which have all been bull****

    Sadly no battery breakthroughs are on the horizon, it will be incremental improvements for the next 10 years and maybe then something might appear in 2030

    When a breakthrough does happen a Samsung S9 Edge for 1000e will get that battery years befoe an EV

    Even unlimited budget hypercars like Rimac can't charge quickly

    These articles always seem to read their head when the next Samsung/Apple iPhone have or just about to launch.

    I thought the next big thing was Solid State Batteries?

    Dyson have invested 1 billion to make me a hoover which I can drive around Dublin :-)
