One of my gnomes attended a rubber-chicken auto diner / conference with a big kahuna in auto media world who was on the dais.
Discussed was that batteries longevity will double, amongst other things. This is in line with the doubling point...

The best energy density of a conventional lithium-ion battery is somewhere around 2 MJ/L (megajoules per liter). If we believe the information given in this article, that means that Samsung's new batteries are around 3.6 MJ/L, at least when they're brand new.
For comparison, the energy density of gasoline is around 32 MJ/L, which is not quite nine times as much.
Of course, to turn gasoline into electricity requires heavy, bulky, noisy rotating equipment that weighs a lot, is dirty, vibrates, and ejects red-hot poison gas. A battery requires none of that.

"but the fly in the ointment is the graphene—despite a lot of time, effort and money invested, scientists still have not figured out a way to manufacture the stuff in bulk, which means, that the new battery design will not be available to consumers until a way can be found to produce the graphene."

They better hurry it up because several Chinese companies are seriously looking at a new generation of dry-electrode lithium-ion batteries that could effectively triple the battery life per charge on a battery pack about the size of the one used on the iPhone 6. It would be like running an iPhone 6 with a Mophie Juice Pack battery case but without the need for that extra battery.
