What companies to look out for for next Gen battery/energy storage developments? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Not sure how to word this.. But who should I be following in terms of battery/energy storage research and development companies? I'm less interested in start ups and more interested in bigger companies who are investing heavily in R&D

Automotive batteries and grid storage are probably going to be separate. Car batteries (or e-bikes, for that matter) need high capacity in the lowest weight. Grid storage cares a lot less about weight; they want the lowest cost per MWh.

Flow batteries, in particular, are something to keep an eye on.
