It's obviously more valuable to double the range of a car compared to a phone. But is it multiple thousands of times more valuable? I don't think so.

- maximus-decimus 1y agoI don't understand your point. EV batteries won't cost multiple thousands of times more for the exact same battery that would go in a phone. If you pay 1000 times more for 1000 times more battery, I don't see the problem. If anything, they probably want 1000 times more demand so they can gain economies of scale.

A car battery is five thousand times as big as a phone battery and it's only hundreds of times as expensive.
