New battery boffinry could 'triple range' of electric vehicles

Err false promises...

It maybe me misunderstanding but it would appear from what was described that the effect of the shield is to increase the useful life of the battery, so instaed of say 1000 charges you may get 3000 before the the capacity of the battery degrades to say 50% due to described failing of teh electrode. This will be a major benefit for people who buy 5-10 year old electric cars.

This tech does not actually increase the capacity of the cell so will not extend the range of a vehicle as described in title.
