This fits with the generally established idea that a 20-fold improvement in battery capacity for a given weight would be directly comparable to internal-combustion power systems.
If I may be so bold, in the past 30 years, what-fold improvement in batter capacity has been realized? Battery tech does not seem to follow Moore's Law.

That's an interesting hand wave there, from the folks on the banks of the Housatonic.
