There are many new nano tech battery posts in this thread (and under solar tech too). It can not happen soon enough.
How does a fast discharge battery help an EV? I understand the other points but not this one. Thanks.

If a battery has fast discharge capability it has low internal resistance and won't be stressed by high current draws, or C rates, and should prolong cycle life. Also a smaller pack can put out higher power without damage. Usually fast discharge also translates into fast charge acceptance as well though it may not be symmetrical.
Not sure is you were trying to be ironic here, but you seem to be mixing up energy with power and area with volume.Wow, 1 megawatt of power! What's that equivalent to? 6 hundred feet of gasoline?
On edit: Sorry, I meant square feet.
A new way of making battery electrodes based on nanostructured metal foams has been used to make a lithium-ion battery that can be 90 percent charged in two minutes. If the method can be commercialized, it could lead to laptops that charge in a few minutes or cell phones that charge in 30 seconds.
