1,000 Mile Battery?

I see these batteries run on water.
By the bottle, water is more than price of gas.

Yes, I have never understood what got people so excited about this aluminium-water battery. Sounds really unpractical for use in a car and I am not at all sure about how environmentally friendly it is. Might make sense as e.g. a stationary battery/energy source for small, remote military outposts with easy access to water.

That said I do not think we will ever see a mass produced EV with a 1000 mile battery ... the battery will be the most expensive part of an EV for many years to come. It makes much more sense to reduce the battery size and be able to offer a much lighter 500 mile car for, say, $15.000 less. I think I have driven more than 1000km/620miles in a day exactly twice in my 20 years of driving.
