So now it should be a golden age to be a chemical engineer or a physicist specialising in battery technology research I suppose.

As a chemical engineer who did my Ph.D in Li-ion battery anodes, I switched to data science immediately afterward. So I wish you were right, but I wouldn’t count on it any time soon.
