My priorities for improving battery technology in order of importance:
Cost
Rate of charge/discharge (quick charge means you don't need as high capacity)
Durability
Power density
Efficiency
Seriously, if batteries were half the cost they are now, EVs would be a no-brainer, at least for local driving. Make it charge quickly, and you'd only ever need a 200 mile range, because stopping for 10min to charge would be no big deal. The rest of the things are already pretty good on modern battery technology. I suppose higher power density is always nice, but isn't necessary.
