BEST BATTERY EVER: All lithium, all the time, plus a dash of carbon nano-stuff

WTF?

Vehicle range

You need around 100KWh for s decent car motive battery

I cant quite make the numbers add up, but at 3.8Ah per gram., that's (at a cell voltage of 3.7v) around 10Wh per gram or 10kWh per kg.

That is so far from actual battery weights that I simply don't believe it.

Wiki suggest lithium is less than 0.5Wh per gram
