Despite the promises of silicon carbon technology, challenges remain. Tesla has faced its share of manufacturing issues, including high reject rates for its initial silicon carbon batteries. However, the automotive industry's focus on addressing these hurdles suggests that mass production could be on the horizon.
Moreover, traditional legacy manufacturers like Porsche, BMW, and Volkswagen are still using older battery technologies, which could leave them lagging in the competitive EV race. As the market evolves and consumer demand for rapid charging and extended range increases, these companies may need to adapt quickly or risk falling behind.
