Whoops, sorry. I meant this one: Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) May Be Working On a 1,600km Range Car - Insider Monkey
Good thing gas isn't sold by the bottle! Just read the article (short article!) and I think that we now know what the frunk is really for! Just plop the range extender in the frunk!
Yes, I have never understood what got people so excited about this aluminium-water battery. Sounds really unpractical for use in a car and I am not at all sure about how environmentally friendly it is. Might make sense as e.g. a stationary battery/energy source for small, remote military outposts with easy access to water. That said I do not think we will ever see a mass produced EV with a 1000 mile battery ... the battery will be the most expensive part of an EV for many years to come. It makes much more sense to reduce the battery size and be able to offer a much lighter 500 mile car for, say, $15.000 less. I think I have driven more than 1000km/620miles in a day exactly twice in my 20 years of driving.
Here was also a thread about this 1000 miles car. 1000 mile range with aluminum, air and water reacrion
If this is new / true, the 1000 mile range is not far away. Sulfur-Lithium claims 5 times the power density of Lithium-Ion. New sulfur-based battery is safer, cheaper, more powerful than lithium-ion | ExtremeTech
Second time I write that, sorry: Here is the same in another thread: New all-solid sulfur-based battery outperforms lithium-ion technology ?
