Tesla has markets excited from what kind of battery technology it is about to unveil.

The study, from the European Patent Office and the International Energy Agency, found the U.S. fifth in battery technology patents, from 2000 to 2018. The U.S. trailed Japan, South Korea, Europe and China.

That the U.S. is trailing is in fact backed by Tesla

The U.S. trails only Japan in patents for solid-state Li-ion battery patents, and is the leader with nearly a third of all patent applications in Redox flow batteries.
