The other frustration with following battery/energy technology is that even if a big 'breakthroughs' does work out as expected, it takes 5-10 years to go from the lab to market, and that's on the optimistic side. During that development time, the energy demand consistently goes up every year, so by the time we actually get 'better batteries' we're also using more energy, resulting in a net change of "not much".

Toyota are already working on bringing a solid state battery to mass production. This article is about making the road to mass production easier. So this might actually happen pretty fast. If it's for real, of course.
