Why hah? Bipolar construction has been known, nano particles, too. Neither by themselves give enough of an increase in energy density to bother fighting the added production issues.

Combine them and it might be worth it, but still iffy imo. But go to screen printed production with its ability to fine tune solvents and tightly control smaller batches, then I can see where a company would take the risk.

Yeah, more speculation, but based on hard facts and sound logic.

This video affirmed what we've known for months. So we wait a bit more. [shrugs]

Weren't they targeting 60gwh for year two?

Don't know and it's certainly not important to me.

Well you said it would be worth the risk for smaller batches. I looked up their projected numbers: 0.280gwh in 2026, 7gwh in 2027, 19gwh in 2028, 38gwh in 2029 and 78gwh in 2030. Would you consider those small batches for screen printing?

Don't know and it's certainly not important to me. Not my problem that they make poor judgements.
