I agree it' not practical today due to lack of infrastructures.
The byproducts can be 99% recicable at the expense of lots of electric energy to bring back the aluminum. This for me is the downsize.
Do you recycle "elemental aluminum" instead of throwing you beer can to the trash?
The price of aluminum vs gasoline per mile compensates. (Europe speaking)
You can burn it in combustion engine directly instead of using expensive fuel cells (and having energy losses through the system).
And trust me, I do not make any money for saying this neither I'm trying to sell nothing.
It is just an alternative way that i wanted to share.
As far as i know, car manufactors are making now an exellent work.
They are using all the ideas you see here in this website with modern and strong alloys and compounds. To bad for the legal constrains and tight budjets they have to respect.
Best regads and thanks for the reply's
