A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The depressing thing about battery technology is that it gets better, but it gets better slowly. There are a whole bunch of problems in materials science and chemistry that come in trying to make existing batteries better.
The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries.
I keep hearing about battery innovation, but it never makes it to my phone.
Fuel cells create a better automobile that's 50 percent more energy-efficient overall and sustainable from energy and safety perspectives.
If you want a product that's thicker with a bigger battery, it's also heavier, more costly, takes longer to charge.
My friends always joke that I run on batteries.
It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.
In reality, a cell is a biological mini-me compared to the human body. A cell has every biological system that you have.
The technology is just so far gone. It's just like back in the day you needed a suitcase just to have a cell phone. The battery was so heavy, it was like carrying a gallon of soda around with you all day.
I could sell used battery acid and make it fly.
