Let me ask you just two questions. Why is it that you don't believe in economies or scale?

Economies of scale depend upon volume production. Volume production depends upon securing the necessary resources in sufficient quantities at a fixed price, in this case Lithium.

You can make the damn things yourself. The problem is the cost of the material, which isn't going to go down as mass production commences, since the majority of the Lithium is locked up in the high desert of Bolivia.

Like I said.. the only problems with Li-Ion is cost and longevity of the total battery life.

I'm not going to power my vehicle with something that can't even power my Laptop for more than 3 years.
