Why not add the smarts to a lead/acid battery? Probably only a few bucks worth of electronics.

  Or as a separate component you could drop in and then use whatever battery you want. I'd pay almost as much for that.

    Such a component already exists. Check Amazon.

  My impression was that said smarts are possible in the Ohm because of the otherwise-wasted space caused by the smaller internals. On the other hand, if there's that much more space, I'm curious as to why some more battery or capacitor banks couldn't be added to address the low-capacity concerns.

  You could probably even do it as an add-on to batteries, although now I'm wondering why it isn't built into the cars themselves. They could easily do it.
