The electric car is the transport of the future. To date energy storage has been the bottleneck.
It is a parallel plate capacitor with barium titanate as the dielectric. It claims that it can make a battery at half the cost per kilowatt-hour and one-tenth the weight of lead-acid batteries. As of last year selling price would start at $3,200 and fall to $2,100 in high-volume production The product weighs 400 pounds and delivers 52 kilowatt-hours. The batteries fully charge in minutes as opposed to hours. The EEStor technology has been tested up to a million cycles with no material degradation compared to lead acid batteries that optimistically have 500 to 700 recharge cycles, Because it's a
solid state battery rather than a chemical battery, such being the case for lithium ion technology, there would be no overheating and thus safety concerns with using it in a vehicle.
