At a weight of 23 lbs (3500 series) it seems a bit heavy for a car, but then again I don't believe this is meant for a car. However if you were to use these as the power producer of a genset, which is it's stated use in the article, the high efficiency and the massive power output would make them ideal for an off-grid generator. Because of its 12 pole design, they are also adjustable from 12v to 64 vdc which makes them great for dc charging systems. Plus if it does actually get the claimed 100,000 hour life span, this would be excellent for off-grid. I could definitely see these used in parallel hybrid applications too.
