The volumetric energy density of batteries is described in litres. The gravimetric energy density is described in kilograms:

It doesn't. It just the brand name Tesla chose. Kompressor is the brand name Mercedes chose for its supercharged cars:

- m463 2y agoI'm sorry, but I was saying this all tongue-in-cheek. I'm actually ridiculing the marketing departments. They are applying technical terms used to market internal combustion engines to electric vehicles where it makes no sense. Trying to apply liters of displacement of an internal combustion engine somehow to electric vehicles would also be ridiculous. I was also ridiculing Kompressor if mercedes were to bring the term to EVs, which they have not. That said, supercharger as a term for fast charging an electric car does make sense, and is rather deliberately humorous with its juxtaposition with a driven air compressor intake for a powerful car. Also no charge to charge events. And plaid is humorous too.
