When I was looking into using A123 cells it was going to be for a PHEV. This would provide me with enough EV range and power for ~10 miles of driving, enough for a daily commute. So, the pack was pretty small. The high power output of the A123s was nice because I didn't have to sacrifice power output or push the cells horribly hard like I would if I went with a prismatic type cell.
