What do you guys think of the lithium air battery technology and its potential for use in EV. Some sources say that it can have an energy density of 5000W/KG.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(znc @ Jan 15 2007, 01:39 AM) [snapback]375732[/snapback]</div> Up to 11,600 Wh/kg theoretically (vs 46 Wh/kg of the Prius NiMH pack). This means a 25kg Li-Air pack could contain 290 kWh and power an EV for 1,200 miles before needing replaced. However, you can't recharge a Li-Air pack at home, it needs to be taken out and replaced with a fresh one. The spent pack is recharged chemically at a factory.
