While many of these stories oversell and under-deliver on the promised technology, it is all but certain that we will see a huge leap in battery technology in the next few years. It is now one of the most studied fields of science because whomever finds the next great formula will reap the benefit.

It will be a game changer.

Yes they will. I expect the biggest impact to be in small aircraft, small drones, and personal electronics, not electric cars.

I think the big money at the outset will be in consumer electronics, but the real game changer will be in large capacity storage for transportation and electrical grids.

This opens the door to all kinds of possibilities.
