It's true that the EV world has had its share of scams for as long as I can
remember, but it's also had plenty of earnest, well meaning operations that
have a genuine desire to advance the technology (and to be where future
sales lie). I don't think it's fair or appropriate to paint these guys with
such a broad brush.
Some of these projects will produce immediate results, some will produce
results years down the road, some will never produce results. That's how
R&D works, that's how we make progress. The lithium batteries going into
EVs today are based on R&D work done over 20 years ago.
There are plenty of politicians and pundits who pound their fists and roar
that we should deny everyone funding because some of the projects don't work
out, but that's because they don't understand how research works. Don't
listen to them.
