The increased capacity is due to a new cathode technology they have developed.

Their claim seems to have been confirmed by an independent testing laboratory.

They claim that their battery can be manufactured for $125/watt.

We should know fairly soon. Envia does not intend to become a battery manufacturer but to license their technology to existing manufacturers. That means no delay while factories are built.

And a minimum of 1,000 cycles. In a 200 mile range EV those would be 200,000 mile batteries. And would still have 160 mile range after 200k miles. Would make them valuable for grid storage.

Pike seems to always be a bit behind the curve and seems to have a fossil fuel bias.

I guess this study like most in the renewable energy sector are always way behind the curve.
