$15K for a device that holds the equivalent of a very few gallons of gasoline, is almost certain to burst into flames if pierced, is almost 50% powered by coal, takes several hours to recharge, loses much of its capacity in cold weather, can not produce cabin heat without losing driving range, loses its charge in storage...
That sounds like a great transportation energy solution <0.o>

When the battery is depleted and it switches to gas there is the 600 - 700 lbs of dead weight in batteries and the weight of the useless electric motor(s)to haul around.
