Li-ion technology and cost directions through 2030. These developments could take the energy density of lithium-ion cells close to 300 Wh/kg. The report also explores the trajectory of battery technology beyond 2030 through the study of lithium-air batteries, currently the most promising post lithium-ion battery.
