@KL4BSGTR Lithium can be drawn from seawater. Many new methods are being made daily for mining it cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Once Lithium Air with densities of 2k kw h/KG, to 12,000 kw-h/kg? The world would be set! It will never hit 12k k wh/kg as that is the therotical maximum. Yet 50% of that is achievable. Hydrogens issue is the volumetric density.

@khein2204 I know this. Lithium Air batteries are the most energy dense batteries. About 5,110 k-wh/kg is the therotial maximum if you include oxygen like a rocket does. 12,210 k-wh/kg if you use the oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere like a jet engine. There are a few laborities that have already started to get some to work! So let us hope the technology has a breakthrough that can become a generational leap, especially when paired with solid state.
