Battery Technology is certainly progressing.
To think there will not be significant advancement in batterry technology is very short sited.
While at the Hershey RV show last weekend. There where 4 lithium battery suppliers peddling their products. I don't remember there being any the year prior.
Li batteries are currently changing the way we camp and opening up lots of opportunities to camp off the grid in ways that were not possible just 10 years ago.
The technology really hasn't changed. Lithium are basically the same battery as in a 20yr old laptop.
The advances have been in economy of scale bringing prices down but those are largely tapped out and are running up against the counter force of lithium raw material prices rising due to greater demand.
Running house loads is a couple orders of magnitude less demand than actually propelling the RV down the road.
