there’s no Moore’s Law for batteries — their “power” doesn’t double every 18 or 24 months. However, industry-wide figures for power density show a clear upward trend. It's not exponential like Moore's law, but in just under a decade or so, electric cars are going to have range parity with gasoline ones. Also, the graph is misleading. If you combine Tesla EV and other EVs, there is a very promising upward curve in the…
>but in just under a decade or so, electric cars are going to have range parity with gasoline ones. Only if investment and breakthroughs continue. Moore's law worked out well because people kept buying computers constantly since they were useful even while much slower. When it comes to electric cars though, there is little incentive for consumers to buy them at the moment so there is a significant risk of investment…
Investment and breakthroughs in lithium ion batteries were not and are not only driven by electric vehicles. Far, far from it, as a matter of fact.
