Nice article. And about energy density.. you should research the Maxwell acquisition and the plans for the battery investor day later this year.

Yea but even the dry technology Maxwell has is still a relatively marginal improvement. They say 15% increase over existing energy density should be expected. Definitely better than the current 8% but not fundamentally different.

300 Wh/kg and an outlook to 500 Wh/kg is more than that or where is my mistake?

An "outlook to" anything is not reliable. I believe they can do 300 Wh/Kg which results in about a ~15% improvement.
