    Maybe 5 years from now if we're lucky and if we can afford them. Too many breathless articles like this one that end up saying "still in development."

      But this article doesn't say that, does it? It says they've begun production.

      The first production line for solid-state batteries has been built and is currently undergoing pilot-scale experiments.

      The US government has banned the sale of EV from China, the EU is demanding minimum prices, and BMW is suing EV importers in Germany[1]. Without these protection rackets, you could definitely afford one by now.
