Is this a question or does the poscast have an answer the OP should summarize?

It's only 16 minutes and the first quarter is two guys bitching about their iPhone battery life and saying that other areas of tech improve at a faster rate than batteries do. Then they talk to some guy at Stanford who is working on putting more lithium into batteries to get more use out of batteries. But the tech is years away from being ready for the consumer market. Then they talk to a guy from Tesla about making batteries cheaper by putting all the parts and processes to make a battery under one roof. It ends with them saying that the big advance in batteries right now is not lasting longer but charging faster.
