For example the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased eightfold since 2008, from around 55 watt-hours/litre to 450 watt-hours/litre in 2020. At the same time the cost of lithium-ion battery packs declined 87% between 2008 and 2021. This could potentially lead to electric cars with a much longer range.
