Not to be "that guy", but: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...ter#Post3470600
I'm willing to bet "Ellie" doesn't understand what she types, nor understands the difference between electric & gas motors. It is possible to build batteries from lemons!
Note it weighs in at 5,070 lbs. I wonder how many gallons of saltwater it carries and what it does with it after use? This must have something to do with the weight as one gallon of 'standard' seawater weighs roughly 8.5 lbs, while a gallon of gas is about 6 lbs., 29% less.

It carries a whopping 400 litres of salt water! That's close to half a metric ton in weight! And it lasts an amazing 373 miles.
I can't see something taking off that uses half a ton of fuel every couple of days! Its early days but my guess is it will get shunned like hydrogen fuel did

And it's NOT salt water that it's running on...
Read the article closely.
You'll come across this: The flow cell system powering the Quant e-Sportlimousine’s four electric motors develops electricity from the electrochemical reaction created by two electrolyte solutions.
And where does the electrolyte come from? How is it made?

Sort of the opposite of a car for the masses.
