Does this burning at 200 j/g really mean it would be a lot safer or do you chalk this up to be company propaganda. Clearly it is a lot lower than gasoline, but since 600-900 proved to still be an issue, could this be enough to stabilize people's fears you think?

I think Hondas may be LFP, not sure. Solid state batteries shouldn't be expensive in 5 years though. I understand they may be today. But like buying SSD's for computers it isn't worth not having one now.

Also I imagine Honda is definitely in the game of trying to make a lower price model, as they would want to compete in markets overseas as well.

solid state batteries are ultra promising. Even if expensive at first, ebikes and race/premium cars would benefit huge. But they need to start at a still reasonably affordable/value price to take off.

Yeah, this is still to high, but 46k, solid battery with 620 miles hitting the market now means it's likely we'll see them showing up in western markets soon. Hopefully once mass production starts we'll see prices dropping https://newatlas.com/automotive/im-ls-lightyear-solid-state/
