Development of a lithium-air battery with an energy density over 500 wh/kg
Science Daily ^ | January 20, 2022 | National Institute for Materials Science, Japan

Posted on 01/28/2022 10:05:54 AM PST by M. Dodge Thomas

Researchers have developed a lithium-air battery with an energy density of over 500Wh/kg -- significantly higher than currently lithium-ion batteries. The research team then confirmed that this battery can be charged and discharged at room temperature. In addition, the team found that the battery developed by the team shows the highest energy densities and best cycle life performances ever achieved. These results signify a major step toward the practical use of lithium-air batteries.

You stated...

“But with no large engine or transmissions which take up space and add weight.”

Implying that ICE cars have a weight disadvantage over EVs.

Comparison chart of EV battery packs...

]

Link to breakdown of Tesla S components....

Tesla Model S Weight

refer to linked article for detail breakdown....125 lbs just for wiring.

The EV efficiency is greater than 90%. 3x the ICE.

Not if you take into account the thermal efficiency of the power plant that supplies the electricity.

Throw in pumping power, transportation power and refining power for the ICE.

If we’re going to do that, add the mining and transport costs for the power plants fuel.

Or just compare the UNSUBSIDIZED cost of the EV vs ICE.

It takes weeks for gas to get to your car. Electricity not so.

Commenting on the energy content of gasoline being 24X posted by another.

To which you proceeded to expound on your vast knowledge of EV propaganda..... lose.

“The newest natgas gas turbine - steam turbine combined cycle plants are pushing 70% efficiency.”

The cost per BTU is much less than that for oil and gasoline.
