Should be in a power tool near you this year.

Lack of further info precludes seeing whether it is a viable transport
battery yet, but it addresses one issue - the instability of high output
low resistance Lithium polymer batteries.



The only obstacle standing in the way of electric cars is the average
motorist's craving for high speed and hypermobility.

No, that's your perception and pre-conceived prejudice of what motorists want.

I'd have an electric car tomorrow, if I could buy one for the same price I bought my Landrover for (£7ooo) if it could carry my kids and luggage and tow a caravan or trailer.

Be nice if it could also haul two tons out of the quarry and woods we own too, which has very little to do with high speed. :)
