The Israelis bless the world again. I'm sure Tesla will be talking with them shortly if not already.

“The big disadvantage of aluminum-air batteries is that they don’t last. The aluminum turns to aluminum-hydroxide. While this can be recycled, it can’t be recharged by plugging the battery into a powerpoint.”
Important detail.

100 kg = 220 lbs
1/5th the weight of the Tesla battery

I was making fun of the ‘km’ used in the article.

1,875 miles on one charge is what they are claiming. They’ve demonstrated 1,125 miles which is close to four times the range of Tesla’s Model S.

How much would this disposable battery cost? Bet you can buy a ton of gasoline for that price.

I know...And I wasn’t correcting you. Just wanted to reduce it to pounds.
To: Jack Hydrazine
The battery weighs just 100km But it can go 22 volt-amps per circular hectare.

Beyond important, that detail seems critical.
How long before battery replacement?
To: Jack Hydrazine
...it can't be recharged by plugging the battery into a powerpoint. Maybe with some additional R&D investment, they can solve this problem. Then I'll be a multi-gazillionaire with my hundreds of powerpoint decks sitting around collecting bit dust. If you make me an offer now, I'll let them go for a song. Don't wait! You must act now before this new technology takes off and my PPTX deck prices soar!
To: Jack Hydrazine
cant be recharged, which means you have to buy a new one every thousand or so miles at an astronomical cost.

It is not a charge. It is an irreversible electro-chemical reaction. I looked at these 20 years ago for communication facilities.
They may use air, but they still have a liquid electrolyte that is separated from the air by a fragile membrane. I don't think it would do well in a crash.
