Well, that is certainly a significant improvement. I wonder how long it will take for those new batteries to dribble down to Zero?  With big-money electric car companies tied into Farasis, it might take a while. Although Farasis might give Zero a break for being such a longtime customer.

Well, that's awesome, and they might arrive in a new Zero in a few years, just in time for me to want a new one

Haven't we already had this conversation this year?

I think Farasis had a 20% boost earlier this year just from "fiddling" with things, this sounds like a fairly radical new chemistry.

It sounds alot like what the Tesla analysts think that they got that density boost from a year or so ago.  Using silicon isn't unknown, there's multiple ways to do it.

Aha, so it is the same announcement then. Well it's good news either way I suppose.

I could have sworn there was a thread where someone said the new batteries would be just in time to want a new one ;
