From the comments I can tell people aren’t reading the article.
The basic concept is: instead of making the frame of a car stronger and heavier in order to carry a heavy battery, make the battery the structural frame of the car. This gets rid of the extra heavy frame and gets rid of the separate weight of the battery.

This will really make electric aircraft more efficient.

Has ANYTHING Popular Mechanics has touted as the next big thing or as a breakthrough in the past EVER actually turned into any workable, usable commercial product. I’m still waiting for the flying cars.
