Reply to comment by Rogaar in Scientists have developed a solid-state battery material that doesn't diminish after repeated charge cycles, potentially offering a durable alternative to the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles by unswsydney
From what I've seen, Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) look to be the closest to bringing something to market.

I would bet on CATL, I think the Chinese will basically prop that up no matter what and I won't be surprised if they win the battery wars.

I dunno, you could be right but at a glance their battery specs are way behind gmg, in power density, charging speed, materials cost, recyclability, heat dissipation, cycles/lifespan, fire safety. Almost every metric.

Thats why I don't necessarily pick a company. I toss the money in an ETF style China fund thats heavy in CATL, but represents a lot of Chinese energy storage / production sector.

Fair enough.

Yeah that's one at the top of my list. They are in a great position as they make graphene themselves so then taking it to the next level of manufacturing something with it, instead of just selling it, gives them an advantage over other battery manufacturers who have to source and buy the graphene.
And they are also a local company in my state. All the more reason to support them if it helps the local economy.
