The optimistic timelines you hear splashed about by the media should be treated with skepticism. Even if we are bullish and say 2025 for the sake of argument, if you buy an EV today, you'll get years of life out of it before the solid state battery equivalent is available.
So, sure, if you had no plans to buy an EV before 2025 anyway, the promises associated with that battery tech might make the decision feel even more comfortable. But anyone ruling out a potential EV purchase in the near term in hopes for breakthroughs right around the corner may want to reconsider.
