NMC batteries can store upto 300 Wh/kg, and 350 Wh/kg seems doable in the near future. LFP, in contrast, currently stores about 140 Wh/kg – with a theoretical storage upper ceiling of 160 Wh/kg. The real killer is going to be solid state batteries which can have energy storage densities of up to 500 Wh/kg.
