135. ENERGY DENSITY: GETTING TO LONGER DRIVING RANGES

Qnovo

A common denominator is the battery’s energy density : it is the amount of electrical energy per unit volume (or per unit weight) that a rechargeable battery can store. State-of-the-art energy density figures for lithium-ion batteries stand today near 700 Wh/l and 300 Wh/kg. Energy is measured in units of kWh.
