One link to the Dyson deal:
Dyson charges ahead with battery-maker Sakti3 - CNET

1,100 Wh/l means you could theoretically replace a small cars gas tank with a same sized 50 kWh battery, and it would have a range of over 300 km/ 200 miles.

It would be at least twice as heavy as a full gas tank - but the EV motor would be much lighter than the ICE and ICE specific systems (cooling, exhaust, alternator, intake).

For education go to people unlike yourself.
