A high-density battery that might move an electric car 300 miles for $10 without needing to stop for recharging may be on the way. Envia of California has produced the car battery with the highest energy density so far.

The battery may produce electricity at $125 Kwh compared with $300 to $500 in Leafs and Volts. The price may drop farther as competition drives subsequent inventions. The ideal I guess would be to make 2nd world electric cars for fewer than $10,000 possible.

The company used a 4 million dollar federal grant and built on federal research to turn out a good product. There may be a variety of versions of synthetic batteries to jolt the electric car movement ahead while the conservative Tar Sands Co2 power school of economics looms like a global warming doom out there as a distant smoke on the horizon of space-time.
United Technologies once had a promising solar panel before a patent infringement suit from ARCO brought it down. Fossil fuel corporations have deep pockets to inhibit electric car progress.
