Just read this myself and was about to post in the Fossil Fuel Free section. It's articles like these that make me wonder when the right time to purchase or build an EV is.

I wonder what the theoretical maximum energy density is using chemistry? After all, there are only so many ways to mix elements and compounds.

...looks like the capacity increase of these batteries is mostly/entirely achieved via increased voltage. Would be neat to see a new product on the market. I wonder how many years it would take?
