All good about the capacity, charging time and longevity.

The reporter asked Raj about the weight of the batteries from the perspective of Baltimore disaster (not the real cause) and in general because the Li-io batteries bring a lot of weight with them in the EVs including busses. Weight could have a big structural risk.

Raj didn't answer the question or he even avoided it.

In the warehouses the weight is not so important, as they are built on ground level and it might be even beneficial for the forklifts as they need a low center of gravity in order to be stable while they lift heavy stuff. If the warehouse is built vertically on multiple floors and you have multiple heavy forklift vehicles charging together in the same place or driving around, this could be risky if the building was not designed for this combined weight.

For all the other applications like busses vs. roads/bridges, mining vs. terrain/soil, ships vs. water, energy storage vs. buildings and so on, weight is an important, if not a critical factor.

SSB should be lighter, but then not heavy duty yet. A compromise would be beneficial.
