Am I supposed to be impressed?


If you don't compare it to computers, it's not so bad. Think of other
fields: are there washing machines that improved their water use by 50%? Are
there planes that got 50% more fuel efficiency?

It is after all a chemistry problem, and you don't make 10x improvements in
those overnight.

As mentioned, an EV going from 200 miles range to 300 miles range is
definitely worth having, and could be the tipping point for some people.
