    I would certainly consider them for my next project.
    7 modules would give me 35kwh @ 150V = US $9065 (plus delivery) weighing a mere 125Kg ( my 28.8kwh pack weighs 256kg)

    I have 16 of them . Will probably offload a few early next year.

    A friend has about 860 laptop batteries powering his house. Knocked up a timber frame to house them. Only cost him about $300 from memory.
    How many laptop batteries would it take to power a vehicle 5000? (wild guess).

    See when that dick Jesse James made an EV out of Milwaukee batteries?
    This was about 10 years ago now

    And here's another 'ute'. Very American in it's styling, but this one has a range extender BMW engine and is all wheel drive, though probably not what we would consider four wheel drive for the rough going, at least not with that bodywork.
    They'll be everywhere soon.

    I still think the fuel cells will be the real game changer for us. Would not mind putting kit from the W15 kit into a Disco. The range would make it more than workable. Loved the towing capacity as that seem the weak link in all EVs at present.

    I can't see Fuel Cells being practical or affordable for Electric Cars in the next 15 years if at all, Battery tech is proceeding fast enough to make them irrelevant , Maybe useful for EV Aviation though where initial outlay is not such a consideration .

    Won’t be quick enough for some, other will day it’s only 100km.......

    I read somewhere yesterday about cordless charging.......I meant to grab the link. Perfect for home charging.

    So who's planning to convert their Defender to be an EV? ...I reckon within 5 years the whole country will be networked with fast chargers and all new domestic vehicles will be electric, with diesel being phased out much faster than we think.
