CEO Vivas Kumar of startup Mitra Chem weighs in on why America needs domestic production of the materials used in (increasingly dominant) LFP batteries.
I was a little disappointed that there was no discussion on solid state batteries in this podcast. It seems, like nuclear fusion, this technology is always around the corner, but with companies like Mercedes and Toyota claiming to be committed to installing solid state batteries with 600-700 mile ranges and extra fast charging, I'm wondering if this technology has the potential to make lithium iron technologies irrelevant.

I wonder how the efforts to replace graphite with silicon play into this? Like what https://www.paracleteenergy.com/ talks about.
