RMIT engineers say they've tripled the energy density of cheap, rechargeable, recyclable proton flow batteries, which can now challenge commercially available lithium-ion batteries for capacity with a specific energy density of 245 Wh/kg.

I was actually just watching a 60 minutes episode on YouTube the other day about a massive, fully green, generations long mining source of lithium in SoCal. It'll be able to supply all of the lithium needed for yearly domestic American EV sales and because it's so close to home, prices for these massive battery packs should fall off precipitously.
