Okay, 18lb per car, no, Cobalt is now down to 8% in any NMC 811 chemistry which is 8lb per car roughly and Tesla is close to getting 3%. The 100kWh holy grail is the same threshold that Tesla is about to break but it's calculated on a per cell level not sure if that is the same for NantEnergy. I'm skeptical since everyone touts the latest battery breakthrough and 90% of the forward looking battery developers are focussed on solid state. From the sound of Patrick talking about "size" I suspect energy density cannot be matched yet of L
interesting. Zinc air batteries are supposed to have some sort of felt like material soaked with the electrolyte in them and no fluid sloshing around. If they can make a lead acid battery not leak I don't know why they can't these. They do have to have vents to draw in air to work though.
