Lithium ion batteries are in almost every cell phone in existence, and most laptops, too. There are probably dozens if not hundreds of different types of lithium ion cells. Don't think that the difficulties of one type apply to all other types...

Thanks for the info on the pack capacity - I was vaguely remembering a 4kWh size a while back, so 5kWh is probably correct.

By the way, the Edison2 VLC requires a bit over 5HP to go 60MPH, if I'm remembering correctly.
