I just wonder are there any plans of using them in an EV soon? Apart from the http://www.lightningcarcompany.co.uk I do not know of any other EV manufacturer using them. Any idea? ecocarforum.com - Green Car Network Community for sustainable transport

Considering how much of this stuff is patented, I am surprised all of the progress has not been halted by litigation yet. I have spoken with reps from a number of the battery vendors for some of our electric vehicle side projects, and all I can say is that the prices for any of these systems are outrageous. I know they will come down, but right now they too costly for most applications.
