Batteries are growing in technology by leaps and bounds. Lithium Carbonate, Lithium Peroxide, with Toyota coming out with their prototype of a solid state lithium based battery (think SOLID chunk of ceramic, with about 240% charge density of current tech) and Tesla announcing a Lithium - Sulphur Battery with a life cycle measured around 4 Million miles.
These newer technologies will likely give ~1,000 miles/charge. And the R&D is being done by CAPITALISM.
There are also some very new revolutionary changes coming in the mining industry - in how we GET these minerals. The way we got Gold in the 1800's is not the same way we get Gold today. The way we get Lithium, Manganese, Graphene, Cobalt and Nickel is going to change. Northern Nevada has enough Lithium trapped in the clay deposits to meet the US needs through the year 2050 - just in Nevada.
There is a reason why every single car manufacturer is moving to EV.
