This video states the specific energy of batteries is only ten times less than fossil fuels. In a direct comparison it's fifty to one-hundred times less.

There are other advantages because of the greater efficiency of electric motors and the motors weigh less, however that is not mentioned.

Hey nostr:npub1r0ulywwu593kzjdu9uluxdq80t54n65kql9vl9z7lrutkgnachssk7zzyc,

interesting that you post both videos here.

Looking onto battery technology it is important to see that there is a huge difference between the

batteries we can buy

batteries in developement

and the ones in the lab

I've been to a tech fair a while ago talking to some developers. They told me that batteries in the lab had a capacity of five times the one available on the market.

This is insane!

So maybe the way we compare here is wrong?

Especially for the EV comparison. You need to compare the whole system in a specific usecase. Otherwise you may come to the wrong conclusion.

So for example, if you would add a redox-flow battery to this comparison it would look like it is useless. But maybe there is another usecase for it? And there is!

So stay context driven.

Thank you for bringing this up.

And have a great week.

Mateusz
