And the USA is rapidly being left behind in the auto market.


> The battery cells are from US-based Factorial Energy, which is also partnering with Hyundai, Stellantis, and other major OEMs to bring solid-state batteries to market.


Is that before or after the US government deports battery engineers from South Korea?


I'd be happy with the 5-600 km (not miles) I can get with my current gasoline car.

But not at Mercedes prices, at the price I paid for mine...


What average speed or kwh/100kmh or size of battery. Otherwise its a useless metric.


I would like to get one when it is available in the US market.
