Battery energy densities improving 8% year-over-year per constant dollar

Battery energy densities improving 8% year-over-year per constant dollar | the statistic is something like a pretty sustained 8% year-over-year increase per constant dollar in battery energy densities for the bleeding edge chemistries. So in some sense there I not in some sense in a very real sense there is a Moors law
