Well, the Lithium-Ion "dodo" in my car just powered us on a 1200 km round trip around Ontario for $10 in fuel cost.
The current LI battery technology is plenty good enough to replace gas powered cars.
It's a proven technology and the price trajectory is down down down.
Next generation cells will come, but perfect need not be the enemy of good.
I am hopeful for any breakthrough that lowers price/kWh, I could care less how it happens and what technology wins, but for sure, I'd like it sooner than later.
Interesting article, thx for the post.
