For anything really.

@GeorgeBP81 don't think about about 20% extra volume, but 20% less capacity, tesla won't change their chassis to fit new batteries. That said, thermal management is a huge issue for high performance EVs, so with these batteries we may see electric cars actually hold their own against ICE and even hybrid supercars, we might see a fully electric koenigsegg in the future, for example. Those guys are also working on a cobalt free battery, which should drop the battery price significantly. That will be the most impactful development in battery technology if it becomes a reality.

Yeah, but improved battery life spam is a big deal with EVs, those batteries aren't cheap. However what picked my interest was the cobalt free battery they are currently working on. Nickel and cobalt are not just expensive but a logistical uncertainty.

@bcr003 I get what you are saying but once EV owners have to replace their $5,000 batteries, battery lifespan will become a major selling point.

@cr4zyj4ck that price will most likely change with the rise in demand in the future, we will see.

@thethirdman225 well, costs. No reason to have 2 production lines for the same thing.

@GeorgeBP81 ah, yeah, I agree with you, that would be great for anything that requires thermal management, like laptops and cellphones, even at cost of capacity... provided the manufacturers are willing.
