A solution looking for a problem. Sorry, it isn't my intention to be less than cordial. I just don't see a problem screaming for a fix. Nobody I know is screaming about the batteries in their cars. I don't even know (or care) what batteries are in our vehicles and I am far more aware of automotive matter than the average person out there. Longevity isn't an issue. Weight? People are far more interested in losing 34 lbs of fat from their bodies than 34 lbs of battery from their cars. The former would make them very happy while the latter is completely off their radar. "It costs more but it's better" (paraphrasing). The world is littered with the carcasses of businesses who thought "better" was equivalent to "sales". I've done that before and lived to learn a few expensive lessons. This might very well be better in objective terms from a certain point of view but people are not going to hand over another $50 for something they truly don't care about. This isn't an iPhone or a Nest type product where "luxury makes me feel good" is part of the mental process. I do agree the racing community might have interest in something like this. That said, if I were building a race car I would use Lithium Polymer battery packs that deliver tremendous power at a lower volume and weight. Are there rules prohibiting this due to fire hazard issues? And yet, I could be absolutely wrong in my view.
