Very cool.  These days automakers are scratching and clawing to remove weight from their vehicles, and will especially be wanting to do so if the current US administration reinstates the CAFE standards that the last administration reversed from the previous administration.  This looks like a no brainer for them, if production capacity is there, and if they can get the price down through economy of scale.

For me... at $829 US, I think I can wait until it becomes more widespread, plus I'll wait and see if anybody's car burns up like some phones and laptops have been known to do... biggrin 

The 'extra start' feature for a dead battery would come in handy on a cold winter morning, though.  I like that.

Thanks for posting this, Todd.  It's neat to see new technology when it comes to market.

Pricey for sure however the article states they last about twice as long as a standard battery which might help the sting a bit.

That would be $1000 CDN? If yes, that's a lot of replacement batteries.
