minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•5 months agoSo it’s more like a really bad battery

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•5 months agoYup! It has really good gravimetric energy density, but really bad charging efficiency.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•5 months agoNot THAT bad, really, it potentially has a much better mileage-to-weight ratio and sidesteps the issue of lithium recycling and politics

I thought it’s made through electrolysis
