The longshot storage technology, targeted at utilities, offers four times the energy density and four times the lifetime of lithium-ion batteries, the company says, and will be available for half the price.

I already want one for my E-Bike.  4 times the range and battery charge cycles at half the price?  Wonder if Musk has tried to get in on this for his Teslas?

Hope it comes to market with the claimed price/performance SOON!
