Not $100. Ten. And the kicker? They&#8217;re using salt. Yes, the same stuff sitting on your kitchen table. But CATL makes more lithium batteries than anyone else on the planet. They&#8217;re literally winning the lithium game. So why are they suddenly pivoting to a technology that&#8217;s been considered second-rate for decades? No technical papers. No detailed explanations. Just bold claims and two new products ready to hit the market. So is this the real deal that changes everything? Or are we looking at tech hype that\u2019s too salty to swallow?<\/p>\n<p>Watch Why The Race for Quantum Supremacy Just Got Real <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/L1kyvI2m6UY?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi7uzySCXq8VXhodHB5B5OiQ<br\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/L1kyvI2m6UY?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi7uzySCXq8VXhodHB5B5OiQ<br<\/a> \/><br \/>Video script and citations:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/how-catl-made-batteries-90-cheaper-and-what-happens-next\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/how-catl-made-batteries-90-cheaper-and-what-happens-next\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get my achieve energy security with solar guide: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/solar-guide\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/solar-guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow-up podcast:<br \/>Video version &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA<\/a><br \/>Audio version &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/stilltbdfm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/stilltbdfm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join the Undecided Discord server:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/discord\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/discord<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc4b Support Undecided on Patreon!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/mattferrell<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2699\ufe0f Gear &#038; Products I Like<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/shop\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit my Energysage Portal (US):<br \/>Research solar panels, heat pumps, and more to get quotes for free!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecided.link\/energysage\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecided.link\/energysage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a curated solar buying experience (Canada)<br \/>EnergyPal&#8217;s free personalized quotes:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/energypal.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/energypal.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tesla Referral Code:<br \/>Get 1,000 free supercharging miles <br \/>or a discount on Tesla Solar &#038; Powerwalls<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ts.la\/matthew84515\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/ts.la\/matthew84515<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Follow Me<br \/>Mastodon<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@<\/a>mattferrell<\/p>\n<p>X<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattferrell<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/undecidedMF\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/undecidedMF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattferrell<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/undecidedmf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/undecidedmf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/undecidedMF\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/undecidedMF\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Website<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa YouTube Tools I Recommend<br \/>Audio file(s) provided by Epidemic Sound<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/UndecidedEpidemic\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/UndecidedEpidemic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TubeBuddy<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>VidIQ<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vidiq.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/vidiq.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I may earn a small commission for my endorsement or recommendation to products or services linked above, but I wouldn&#8217;t put them here if I didn&#8217;t like them.
