From what I can tell in casual observation, the typical EV today has about twice the battery capacity that it had in 2012, without markedly higher (inflation corrected) vehicle prices.

That's happened because sales of EVs have increased markedly, especially in Europe. Surprise! Incentives work. Do any major European or US automakers use Calb, or for that matter, any other brand of LiFePO4 batteries? Who or what exactly does use LiFePO4?
