At first I thought, damn a 600 mile battery. That’s a big battery.
If it were any other company I would be thrilled. With Samsung, this is going to be internet enabled, you’ll need an app to turn your car on and off, and it’ll probably play ads at high volumes constantly while driving.
Wait, which company had their battery blowing up ? And were not safe for flight. If these battery blew up then it would be devastating.
I know you jest, but Samsung is a massive battery supplier.
These will be plain old dumb batteries
I dunno man, my 21700 cells just got an OTA update and now my flashlights wont turn on without watching an ad blinked out in mores code first.
“Never install, carry or handle”. OK but what are they for then?
Aaaaaaand (deep breath)
Bullshit
So what’s the catch? Is it the price?
FTA:
Apparently, they are also rather expensive to produce, since it warns that they will first go into the “super premium” EV segment of luxury electric cars that can cover more than 600 miles on a charge.
So yes. Expensive initially.

Needs to be an option to put these into todays EVs. You shouldn’t have to buy a brand new car to get better battery technology.
Today’s EV’s batteries will already outlast the car.
Wait, are EV batteries even replaceable?
Not this one. It’s 600 miles long
