Reply to comment by Tallonius in South Korean researchers say they have developed an anode-free lithium-ion battery that is 40% more energy dense than existing batteries and will enable EVs to travel 630km (390 miles) on a single charge. by lughnasadh

My first hard drive cost 200 dollars and stored 20MB. You can by a thumb drive now days for seven bucks that stores about 1600 times what that first drive cost. My point: economies of scale and improvements in materials and technology will decrease the cost of EVs. Not thousands of times, granted, but 30-40%. Also, in time, there will be EV clunkers too.
