Let's talk about performance capabilities.
Primarily galvanic battery chemistry gains?
These have not been on the rise and would need to be for batteries to ever take any meaningful marketshare from Coal.

- ridgeguy 10y agoCost reduction of existing battery technology is all that's needed to make batteries widely useful for grid energy storage. No new chemistry needed, just economies of scale. This is happening in CA [1] and elsewhere. The trend will enable renewable energy sources like wind and solar to meet larger portions of total electrical demand. That will cut into coal's power generation market share. Probably pretty rapidly.
