Has your project lowered the overall cost of car ownership? Would love to see some numbers on the efficiency improvement.
the_poster 11 months ago next
As of now, the price is not where I hope it should be. But with wider adoption, I'm certainly optimistic. So far, significant improvement, around 45% reduction in overall cost.

Do you see a future where gasoline cars will be phased out? Or will graphene batteries be integrated as an option in cars to increase efficiency?
the_poster 11 months ago next
Definitely an option in cars to enhance efficiency. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the automotive market shifts towards higher EV adoption in the next decade.
