I'm really happy with current li-ions, I was working with >400wh/kg 18650s like 10 years ago. But I'm still waiting for the next jump in storage tech. It'd be awesome to be solid state, and push 1kWh/kg. Its possible and going to happen, I just wish all this money being funneled into batteries was still going to R&D like we were doing with that "impossible" 400wh/kg goal that has now just become available to anyone who had the connections and cash.
