Hi friends and new readers, welcome back to The Station, a newsletter dedicated to all the present and future ways people and packages move from Point A to Point B.
In last week’s newsletter, I described some of the changes coming to TechCrunch’s transportation coverage, including “market maps.” These articles, which will always run in Extra Crunch, focus on a particular slice of the transportation industry, along with other mobility-related analysis.
The first of these took a deep dive into the solid state battery industry. As Mark Harris reported: “For the last decade, developers of solid state battery systems have promised products that are vastly safer, lighter and more powerful. Those promises largely evaporated into the ether leaving behind a vapor stream of disappointing products, failed startups and retreating release dates.”
