Some very good info on Li battery technology and EVs here. Just a snippet follows:
"back in twenty eighteen ... ... Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors was still little more than a fringe novelty anywhere outside of California, having sold only about sixty thousand Model S and Model X cars in that state and barely another forty thousand throughout the rest of the world.
Cutting edge lithium-ion battery technology was running at an energy density of only just over two hundred watt-hours per kilogram and owning one of those new-fangled ‘electrical vehicles’ was very much a dim and distant prospect for the vast majority of people.
The variable that most of us were completely ignoring in our calculus though, was something called ‘China’.
Fast forward to the present day and all those years of, frankly, arrogance and complacency by western manufacturers means all our national automotive industries are now scrambling like crazy to catch up with better, more advanced and less expensive technology now flooding inexorably our way from the East like water from a burst dam."
