Here is an interesting paper from 2 years ago that talks about charging rates, lifecycle, safety etc..

Also, equivalent density SS batteries weigh about 1/3 of a Li-Ion. That will make a difference in efficiency and safety.
I agree, early tech is always more expensive. You have to pay to be an early adopter. When the technology becomes mainstream prices typically normalize. |
The problem with high density solid state level 4+ charging batteries is that you are dealing with just stupid consumer level voltage and amperage. It only exacerbates grid problems to the next level not to mention it demands every battery be made perfectly times millions.
