Will solid state batteries change the world?
IMO, this has real potential. Time will tell. You go John B. Goodenough! A true pioneer. A google/wiki search is in order. This guy is the real deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0nA8Cfx...

Ford just introduced their new all electric Mustang with up to 459 HP, depending on model. And a range up to 300 miles on current battery technology. Obviously these manufacturers feel a battery breakthrough is imminent.
You are putting WAY TOO MUCH into this EV announcement.
What it means is that Ford believes there is sufficient demand (people with $$$)and the CURRENT technology is adequate to mass produce an EV.
No big company "bets their business" on "an invention will happen soon" !
BTW, within the past 2 years Ford launched a new full size SUV (Expedition), a new truck (Ranger) and a new mid-sized SUV (Explorer). They will launch a new rugged SUV next year (Bronco). Only the Explorer is available as a Hybrid.
Ford still is heavily "hedging their bets" on EV with a lot of old fashioned gasoline vehicles.
