Solid-state battery maker ProLogium shuns US for US$6 billion factory as Americans are still on the fence about EVs

Well , we should appreciate new ideas ,so we can get rid off these petrol mafias.

50% dont make me laugh. People can't afford all those new EV but they're forced to buy one due to the emission zones. Sales in 2023 are plummeting (most new sales in 2023 are 2021/2022 orders being delivered. EVs are not the future sadly

All this bickering about ev's everyone needs to live in reality. I believe in global warming, do they me wrong. But let start where the problem really starts. Politicians and 1%ers. It's bad business to allow a bunch of thieves with absolutely moral values in them, to gather. 1st. Doesn't any see that it's has been a conspiracy for a long time, the average Petro fuel vehicles got 300 miles to a tank, give or take a little. Now what is the average range ev's get, and there are a very few exception to that rule. 2nd, ev's with all the good intentions, still lacks longevity with the average battery only getting 1000 charges out of the battery. So, the leaves the life of the car, to chance and driver behavior. 3rd, for the majority of people in the U.S. deal with idiots like the feds raising inflation just the to purposely crash the market so, all the big ballers car make money off the hard working losing everything. Inturn the financial institutions foreclosing and repossessing everything these people went upside down on resale all their stuff and make that money again. The worst thing about it is price aren't going to drop but you have people of average income in the same boat as the rest on bottom pushing inflation. For example: a 30 year old truck 300,000 miles being sold for 18,000- 20,000 dollars. So, everyone can point there stinking s*** covered finger at anyone they want. At the end of the day the wealthy are not going to help anyone make the world a better place.

Many uninformed people love to make up their own stories about why EV's won't work based mostly on hearsay & & cherry-picked distortion of facts. EV's work great if you want to give them a chance or if you don't, just keep driving whatever feels good to you but stop spreading incorrect information, please.

The majority of comments aren't a surprise and show the battery manufacturer made the right decision.

The naysayers make me laugh. They're suddenly worried about people in developing nations mining, the electric grid, student loan debt (that's a new one!), and other things they didn't care at all about before and otherwise really don't unless you mention EVs. But they have no problem handing money and power over to corrupt oil countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.

I admittedly giggled as I drove my EV past a gas station today and saw people paying $4.35/gallon.I love my car. She drives and accelerates like a dream and since our electric grid here is largely fueled by sustainable energy, it's a double win.

What dumb Democrats fail to realize is all the facts involved! How do you dispose of the batteries once their shelf life is used up? Do they have a plan! No I didn't think so !

Yes they do and it's already underway dummy!
