[ausev] ZENN changes strategies

[Daniel J. Stewart]

Wow, that article says an EEstor EESU is 700 Wh/L (which is 11.47
Wh/cu-in) and 450 Wh/kg (204.5 Wh/lb).

So, a unit the size of a Trojan T-105 (10 3/8"L x 7 1/8"W x 10 7/8"H =
803.9 cu-in) would be a whopping 9.2 kWh and only weigh 45 lbs (compared to
the T-105's 1 kWh and 62 lbs).

Or, put it this way - the Tesla's 53 kWh pack would be less than 3 cu-ft
and just 260 lbs.

It's too bad we don't know for sure that the EEstor units actually exist,
or that ZENN knows anything about a highway-capable drivetrain.  But, it's
nice to have hope!
