Oak Ridge National Laboratories announced that they have developed a lithium-sulfur battery capable of four times the energy density of lithium-ion technology, and they are looking to commercialize this.
Here's the article:
Oak Ridge National Laboratory - New all-solid sulfur-based battery outperforms lithium-ion technology
Should Tesla Motors create a new company to produce batteries using this or other new battery technology? There's also the lithium-air battery that's currently being looked at by IBM, but that appears to be further off.
