Right you are. And that’s why I too started my sentence with “If”. But, opposed to other “breakthroughs” we see posted here, at least this one sounds plausible.

It is SERIES too. Yep ... wiring the cells in series will boost the battery voltage. This will apparently be necessary.

Aside from the fact that energy to charge the batteries needs to come from somewhere (as you point out), batteries self discharge, and have horrible cold temperature performance, and with this performance increase have a ridiculously poor energy density in terms of volume and mass compared to liquid fuels.
If you isolate a few performance requirements of fossil fuel powered vehicles, batteries look outstanding, but if you consider all the often competing or opposing facets of what a car is expected to do, they fail miserably.

Dang. Our water is just too hard for swimming until it warms up a mite.

And I’ll take a nickle for every IPO share sold in a new battery technology company that went bankrupt without getting a product to market.
