Another thing about electric cars

Precisely,. It does impact on charge and discharge rates and there have been significant advances in these over the last 16 years, but not energy density. Lithium polymer is a bit safer and pit higher power and a bit more robust bit not one iota higher in energy density.,

It's as mature as an alkaline cell.

Lithium air promises better, but no one has made a commercially viable safe unit yet.

No we are not at the limit. Technology is always improving even if chemistry isn't.

If you're denial of the above then you will not comprehend that energy density is a function of chemistry and yechnology.

Do make up your mind.

Perhaps you should consider anger management?

Yes

That EV range hasn?t improved dramatically over this

No. but that is not down to better batteries. Just bigger ones. And better management and aero and regeneration.

Yes but it's engineered to depend heavyly on diversity. It doesn't take many "extra" 2 kW loads to overload the local distribution. Mains gas doesn't fail very often but when it does and the gas board give out loads of fan heaters it's not unknown for the local electricty substation to catch fire or trip out a few hours later...
