Compare refined gasoline and diesel in terms of “kW-hr/ liter” units to Li ion battery technology
Unit of Energy density of any fuel is = kwh/L
Every fuel have different energy density. Energy densityof diesel is approximately 10kwh/L , energy density of gasoline is approximately 9 kwh/L , energy density of li-ion battery is approximately .5 kwh/L . It can be seen that energy density of gasoline and diesel is 18 and 20 times of li-ion battery .
1 liter li-ion produce =.5 kwh
1 liter gasoline produce = 9kwh
1 liter diesel produces = 10 kwh
