There's also upcoming solid state batteries, and maybe flow batteries if they can get the electrolyte mixture efficient.

I am very intrigued by flow batteries. It basically behaves like a gas fuel concept. Pump some out, pump some in, charge it slowly somewhere else,. hopefully from solar and wind, or fusion haha

Flow batteries currently don't have the kwh per kg to be competitive in EVs, but they're great for grid storage. There are some lab advancements improving that of late, but as with all battery tech lab advancements, you shouldn't rely on any one of them working out to mass production.

True, and a bummer at the moment.

I'm hoping there's a future efficiency gain. Like how we transitioned from nicad, to li, and now to solid?

The concept is super cool.
