Overblown battery claims are a dime a dozen. Obvious question would be what's the time to market. Many experts reckon we'll see solid state batteries in about 5 years (in actual shipping products), so even if this "breakthrough" is actual real and meaningful against today's technology, there's no guarantee it'll still be better by the time it ships. A common problem.

PS Seems to me that the main limitation on fast charging today is more like how much juice you can supply the car

PPS All manufactures are already working to reduce cobalt, with Tesla reckoned to be well ahead of the pack (might be cobalt free soon, apparently)
