CATL has announced plans to manufacture batteries with almost twice the capacity of the batteries used by Tesla. This will enable the electrification of aircraft. While this isn't as energy dense as the lithium air batteries which have been developed and achieve 4 times the energy density of LiFePo4 batteries, it does mean higher densities will be available this year.
This is huge. I have been mulling over getting rid of the generator in my truck camper and adding a new battery pack, now I'm wondering if I should wait a year or two and make the pack from these new CATL batteries.
