But Depew and Maguire are convinced that their company is at a disadvantage because it’s not close to the Big Three. And so it is no longer pursuing the $80 million. “We walked away from it because we didn’t think we could qualify,” Depew said. “Our batteries are not tied to a specific vehicle program, and we’re not trying to build a factory on an existing brownfield development site.” Maguire adds that the program seems to be geared to “helping the Big Three and subsidizing the incumbents—it’s not geared to startups.”
Changes things a bit...

Interesting. I wonder if they are price competitive with the batteries Tesla uses today?

Unfortunately, I think in todays climate Tesla might be more interested in cheapest over longest-lasting - but maybe they can find a way to price longer-lived batteries at a premium or something and use it to generate revenue as well.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Virus battery could 'power cars'

Quote:
Viruses have been used to help build batteries that may one day power cars and all types of electronic devices.

...

The virus was coaxed into binding with iron phosphate and then carbon nanotubes to create a highly conductive material.

The batteries have the same energy capacity and power performance as rechargeable batteries used to power plug-in hybrid cars.

Does anyone know what mAh batteries Tesla uses?
folks,

Sorry if the answer to this is posted somewhere else here....I couldn't find it.

does anyone know what density batteries Tesla is using? typical densities for these batteries are 2200mAh. Older cells are the 1800 mAh variety, and there are newer, more expensive, 2600 mAh ones available.

Any ideas?

thanks
rob
