Note this is "more energy", but not "energy density".Hillhater said:BMZ's claims for their 21700 (Sony cell ?).....
A larger cell, with more capacity, but it weighs less ????
50% more energy
60% more capacity ?
68% increase in output ?
4 times more discharge current ?
If half those claims are true,...it will kill 18650s for EV use
21700 is +43% larger just by volume, very likely +50-55% larger in active material volume (due to can and empty space in the middle of roll).
So in result you will have very little increase per weight and per volume.
If the takeover will take place, I give it at least 5-7 years.
