This was eventually gonna happen. With electric cars and renewable energy becoming more prevalent the smart investment would be in batt tech.

The disposal costs will kill the technology - just watch.

It would only be promising if its 100% safe from causing fires.

You make a valid point but disposal hasn't killed nuclear or coal or oil.
As with submarines if you invest in somethings research and development the answer will come, this may not be the panacea but proves progress is being made. bring it on! I like science and hope those scientists aren't forced to get real jobs in the real world. JP |

Fact is its a 'breakthrough' in technology.....It was only a matter of 'time'.
Too bad LPG technology is taking so long to breakthrough as a 'clean' fuel. |

After driving a Tesla Model S in Melbourne a little while ago everything else just seems......dirty.
It easily beats the pants off any turbo falcon....period. Supercar performance...and imagine what it would be like with a flash/tune... ![]() |

Someone in the USA remapped a Chevy Volt and hot it to do a 6.5 second 0-100 with just the remap, big improvement.

The torque curve make internal combustion engines very old. Problem is powering these buggers.
