Cadmium-based batteries fare even better under harsher environmental conditions, no wonder they're still are (or were about 6 years ago) the most common to be found on airliners.

Stands to reason that currently unavailable options might solve or mitigate the problem. After all, by 2035 we will have graphene or solid state or some other day dream realized, right?
Graphene sounds good, and so do solid-state capacitors at least in theory, but I still take the all-EV approach with a grain of salt.
