For example, there are supposed to be some new battery technologies that
are a couple of orders of magnitude better than currently available.

I can assure you there are not....

I know, you have told me before

but you are just a random person on the internet so why should I
attribute more weight to you than to all the other "random" persons on
the internet who disagree with you.

Because it is one of my specualist subjects?


Some of whom are actually academic physicists (even if I have never
heard of them) and some people with a very real interest in it actually
being right.

Oh, and so people with 'a very real interest in it actually being right'
are the ones to give you an unbiased opinion?


ROFLMFAO!.


I have no personal opinion on who is right, but you really do not have
the visibility for me to believe that it is you.
*shrug* invest your pension in dried unicorn dung then.


Especially when, without these two orders of magnitude improvement,
electric cars for the masses, that automotive companies are investing
billion in, are never going to happen.


Precisely.

Actually you are wrong, we have batteries that are just about good
enough for short range cars. a single order of magnitude might be enough
to fly a commercial electric airliner to the USA.

Two orders of magnitude ain't gonna happen with batteries. The ONLY
thing with the sort of energy density is atomic fuel.

Physics tells us that. That's why I can say 'aint gonna happen'
