We have recently joined the fray and had bobbins of our fine 9 micron basalt rovings impregnated with graphite nanotubes and some secret sauce. The results were astonishing. Going from psi to megapascal test results. Which means the performance of the basalt fiber fabrics under impact and load testing was many times improved.

I suspect this would generalize to fiberglass and carbon fiber as well.
So, no big fat power cable between the tractor and van? Cool.
