This is why a metal air battery would be great! A 150lb zinc air battery can hold 24kW-hours.
I should have said for your home fast charge station. Weight is important for the car, but these researchers intend to have a website up by the first of the year to show people how to take local scrap and turn it into local electric storage by adding soap.

It's kind of mind-blowing. They triple washed their samples but I think you could just smelt and recast proper electrodes and skip the washing.
