This will be followed by an assessment of the perceived technological barriers and the potential energy density gains for so-called post-LiBs, namely lithium-oxygen and lithium-sulfur batteries. Therefore, companies have been establishing fast-charging stations (ranging, e.g., from 24 kW by BMW to 120 kW by Tesla).

They should prove to be significantly cheaper and although not as energy dense as lithium ion there are indications they are reaching similar energy density to LFP packs. Some of the most promising chemistries under development include lithium-sulfur, lithium-air, and solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
