Yeaaahh, I'll press x to doubt, yet again.

First off, 745 miles range on a battery is a weird thing as batteries don't drive. Cars, bikes and the such do, batteries use mAH for example.

Second, any "revolutionary batter" is bullshit. Why? Because I've seen about 3625 revolutionary new batteries in the past 30 years, and 99.99% of them have been bullshit.

Batteries are pretty much at the upper level of what's possible with batteries as we currently have them, so either we switch to something revolutionary as antimatter batteries or something else esoteric, or wel'll be happy to add 5% to what we already got.
