Subaru G4e concept doubles the battery range of electric cars
We've reported on the Subaru G4e concept that was recently shown at the Tokyo auto show several times. However, I suspect, because of all the show hoopla at the time, that the main feature of this car may have been lost; and that being the huge improvement in plug-in battery technology that this car displays.
The 65-kilowatt, high energy-density lithium-ion batteries that power the vehicle gives the G4e a 200km range from a charge, which more than doubles the previous R1e’s range. By using a quick-charger, the battery can be brought up to 80% charge in only 15 minutes...
This tremendous advance improves the marketability of electric cars immensely.

Car's like this will mean fuel cells will be redundant before they even hit the market.
That is if they can really do what they say.
