Right. But what I’m getting at is when we can have 1/3rd of the battery weight with the same capacity, the vehicle range will be even greater cuz it won’t have to lug the batteries around too. Once we get past the weight of the batteries and are able to produce LIGHT evs, the ICE will become even less appealing. Weight has always been a struggle with electric vehicles, and to me is the obvious next big step in tech to improve them.
Battery weight isn’t as much a deal as you think it is. It can actually be beneficial. For example, instead of the weight being in the front of the car, you can have a lighter motor and have all that weight in between all four wheels. It really does wonders for winter traction.
