What's up with solid-state batteries?www.volts.wtf CEO Siyu Huang of Factorial Energy talks through recent advancements in solid-state batteries, which promise significant improvements in energy density and safety and are paving the way for electric v...

@costasamaras.bsky.social In this podcast Dr. Huang notes the IRA doesn't well support their timing and/or product but they are building solid state batteries in Mass.! Is this a stage issue, a specificity in the regulation (Li but not Li-metal anode), customers/partners, timing, or something else?

If the subsidy comes back as a tax credit, and their customers are overseas, they may not have a path to sell/redeem them? Or may not be at sufficient scale to pull full value in the 5 year window (delaying the start of the timer)? Just spitballing, this *should* be right in the basket of goodies.
