Based wholly on the claims in the article: [x] it is impractical to manufacture at scale. [?] it will be too expensive for users. (Cost unknown, but it's part of a $35K motorcycle, which somewhat limits the possible range unless there's VC chum involved.) [x] it suffers from too few recharge cycles. [x] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels. (Motorcycle, again.) [x] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures. [x] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable. (400 Wh/kg is better than Li-Ion) [x] it has too short of a lifetime. [x] its charge rate is too slow. [x] its materials are too toxic. [x] it is too likely to catch fire or explode. [x] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care. [x] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then. [x] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it. (not directly addressed, but in combination with the rest, I'll give this a pass.) [?] your claims are lies. It kinda looks like they read through this exact list and addressed every item but the last. Where by "addressed", I mean simply that: they made a claim regarding the item.
