I seriously doubt any mainstream EV will ever be equipped with anywhere near 1000 mile range packs regardless of technology, it just doesn't make sense. If somehow packs were to achieve 4x increase in energy density, you'd see manufacturers install 4x smaller packs. It doesn't make sense to carry around huge excessive energy that's rarely used. Even with the great energy density of ICE, you don't see manufacturers adding 50 gallon tanks to cars.
