Didn’t this come up about 3 or 4 years ago, and the consensus was that the battery would be too unstable, and might explode?

Think that was the carbon nanotube based battery where it could be charged up very quickly, but could discharge just as quickly due to an internal short making a considerable boom even with a small battery.

However, I hope that they can make a battery with that great of a power density that is safe. Batteries have been the weak link in electrical powered cars.
