Heh, I would guess there are things that violated the laws of physics as they existed at some time. I am simply one of those people who believes we haven’t discovered all there is to know, that’s all.
I try to keep my mind open if I can.
Your belief or lack thereof in physics as it exists at this time doesn’t change the boundaries that exist on chemical and physical processes. Batteries work by combining an electron acceptor (oxidant) and electron donor (fuel) and getting those electrons to do some work on the way. unlike combustion the process in a battery has to be reversible by forcing electrons to flow backwards in the battery or the battery isn’t any good:
The only two ways to get more energy out of a battery is find something that is more energetic than lithium’s change in oxidation states and yet still can be reversed. There might be something, but no one’s found it yet despite hundreds of researchers looking full time. And the other way is to make the battery bigger. Ie heavier thus decreasing the energy efficiency of the vehicle. I am not now nor will I ever be a fan of EVs they are a solution for which there is no problem.
