Yes, interesting. But Lead-Acid batteries will eventually have to go by-by as even one complete such battery in a conventional car is too many. Old technology. The Lead is an environmental toxic hazard and possibly why this operation with Panasonic is in Nevada and not California, to say nothing of the prices of real estate. Hybrid cars on the other hand, like Toyota or Chevrolet, use Li-ion or Nickle-metal batteries.
I believe the Tesla battery is li-ion.
