Lol, exactly. Aren't all new battery developments always "in about 5 years"? I'm hoping for the best but not holding my breath.

They've been in limited commercial use for high safety applications for a few year sand they're in mass production using most of the same equipment as lithium. There are three car models in china being released with them this year.

"About 5 years" in this context means 5 years until up-stream supply chains are efficient and they are roughly where LFP is now.
