According to Volkswagen, it's not.While Lithium is now.
If you can develop the technology to recycle Sodium Borohydride then hydrogen wins.
Hydrogen is the future.
Increase in battery performance over years has been under 5% a year which makes 60% per decade. 2.5x increase forecast is pure speculation.Hydrogen wins at nothing batteries are the way forward. Renewables+ 4th gen nuclear reactors(thorium molten salt)+ fusion reactor after 2050+batteries is the way. Producing hydrogen is problematic, storing it is problematic, using it is problematic. EVs have very simple logistics chain, they are easy and cheap to manufacture, operate and maintain. It is expected that the energy density of batteries will increase 2.5x in a decade.
If you only take into account the progress with Li-Ion batteries. Other types of batteries will appear after 2025. Lithium-air for example shows great promise. There are dozens of different type battery projects some will succeed others will fail but in the end, a huge jump is imminent.Increase in battery performance over years has been under 5% a year which makes 60% per decade. 2.5x increase forecast is pure speculation.
What is the capacity of Aspilsans factory ?20GWh/year is a huge capacity. Aspilsan is also setting up another factory. We did well to catch up with both EV and battery train. Electric motors won't be a problem. We will emerge as a real player around 2025. We did so well with this project.
