At 24 Wh/kg, it's going to take a lot of this to produce an amount of storage relevant to the needs of a vehicle, and that's ignoring the very high cost of the material.
For instance, the Alfa Romeo 4C had an (expensive) all-carbon tub that weighed 65kg. At this storage efficiency, that's only 1.5 kWh... about enough to drive 5 miles in a standard-size vehicle.
Interesting nevertheless, but I can't see getting excited at this density just yet, even if it is true.
- ainiriand 5y agoIt is infinitely greater than 0 anyway. You need the chassis in any case, right? I think this is not meant as a replacement but as a complement of other parts.
- gameswithgo 5y ago"about enough to drive 5 miles in a standard-size vehicle." Are you accounting for the fact that the alpha romeo would no longer have the mass of a separate battery pack? Might it be 10 miles? Still needs improvement! Would it work out better in something like an aptera?
