    yep.

    SHould be a blanket ban on miraculous battery technology stories until they are actually in production and proven.

    Cause lets face it, if one of these miracle batteries using cheap, common materials with amazing capacity and longevity was real, it wouldnt take long for companies to jump on them.

      Research into the lithium ion battery started in the 1970s and they only became common in EVs in the 2010s.

      So yes, it would “take long” for companies to “jump on them”.
