I'm surprised as well.
Not only does NiMh lack behind LiIon in energy density, it is also far less efficient than LiIon as it has significant charging losses.
Meanwhile with LiIon we're talking about almost exclusively ohms losses, wich can be ridiculously small in normal use-cases, aka not switching between supercharger and dragstrip all the time
