for city vehicles, maybe, but unfortunately chemistry has a hard limit already set. not sure if you remember this table from chemistry class, but it lets us find the highest possible combo for energy density

long story short, a lithium fluorine battery could theoretically have 18ish times the energy density of current lithium batteries(ignoring any casing, space taken by cathodes, etc.), still a really long way from... well... any fuel

that with production cost, production emissions, and it just spontaneously exploding like a bomb (like anything with a lot of fluorine) to me says this is not a long term solution for anything, it is a good stepping stone though while we figure it out

id really like someone to prove me wrong but it kind of seems people just latch onto this idea that we can somehow infinitely improve batteries, while we have a distinct physics limit (unless we're not talking about batteries anymore)
