EV Battery Energy Density To Be At Parity With Gasoline By 2045, But That Misses…
Editor’s Note: Four great comments (well, even more than that) highlight why energy density parity with gasoline really misses some critical points. I’m highlighting them here before the article. Adrian notes: Yes, thanks to relative efficiency differences and much simpler support systems, batteries only need to be about 30% as energy-dense as … [continued]
