Possibly, but it seems that with recharge times of around 3 minutes and the fact that cells can be daisy chained for very long ranges, it might not be necessary. Consider, a car that can go from L.A. to New York on a single charge then take a three minute recharge and head back west again. Then you have ebikes with a range say of two thousand miles or more on a single 3 minute charge. A Texas company claims patents for such and says it is very close to licensing out this technology. People have said well the oil companies won't let it happen. I am not so sure. Remember that recent studies indicate that refined petrol for travel is only about 12 to 18 percent of oil usage. Oil is used for many more items such as for example, plastic products etc.
