"If the development of batteries had continued at the pace of the infernal combustion engine, then your battery would be the size of your fist and you would swap it every 1000 miles."

Absolutely untrue.

Put another way, battery technology has continued at a furious rate these last couple hundred years, especially ramping up these last 75 or so as military and space technology have required it.

And this is all we have to show for it. Face it. It's not going to get much better. Physics and chemistry say no.
