Could that be true? If it is, then it's a real eye-opener -- and I, for one, will have to rethink everything I thought I understood about li-ion battery capacity and the potential for future improvements.
In order, to make the batteries last the lifespan of a car, engineers use complex control software that manages the charging and discharge of the cells in the battery to maximize the lifespan. Tesla, for example, has sized their battery pack to be three times what is actually needed and then uses different segments of the battery over the lifespan of the car in order to make it last.
