EDIT: Why on earth are people downvoting improving battery technology? LMFAO, sometimes this place is batshit crazy.

There's research into many different formulations that don't use nearly as much (or in some cases any) toxic materials, solid-state batteries, etc.

Are you taking the critique personally? If so, that's a misunderstanding. It's not an attack on you.

It's simply a fact there's a LONG way to go on battery tech, and anything we can do to increase power density while decreasing weight is critical to making them more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
