Default Is This The Magic Battery?

http://www.caradvice.com.au/89483/au...charge-record/

Maybe, if it doesn't cost a million dollars. These guys have run a
car for about 400 miles on a single battery charge at around 70 - 80
mph. That's awesome if true. It could be America's way out of buying
foreign oil, and greatly reducing ur operating costs.

My Subaru WRX gets 25 mpg on a typical long trip. A Chevy Volt goes
40 miles on a 10 KwH charge. Around here, 10 KwH costs 62 1/2 cents.
The WRX takes premium and costs about $4.72 to go 40 miles. Big
difference. Maybe we have cheap transportation again? CAFE
standards? Unncessary. And we have absolutely oceans of domestic
natural gas to build clean power generation for these cars.

Just hope its real.
