Electric car thread

So most of us heard about the Tesla but the range issue holds us back.

Well what if you could swap in a suitcase sized long range pack you buy at the gas station for your 600 mile or more trip where the rechargeable batteries just aren't big enough?

I'm thinking of the expanded uses as well.

Floods or emergencies for the home, you could pack a lot of power in one of those boxes and leave it sit for years before you need it ( not to mention civil defence applications for emergency centers after tornado ect ).

Heading to the camp for a week.
Why hump a couple of cans of gas when this little baby will quietly power your inverter.
Return the spent fuel cell ( that is what it realy is ) for deposit....

This is exciting to me...

Or simply refill the water.

Or simply refill the water.

The water is acting as an electrolyte.

Aluminum for example ( and there is an air aluminum battery thats even better than zink but its got some issues ) is mined from the earth in an oxide state.
There is no metallic aluminum to be found on the earth.
The process of converting bauxite ( aluminum ore ) to metal involves a lot lf electricity.

The way an air battery works is by corroding the metal back to its natural oxide state.
So when these batteries are depleted they are done...
No recharge, you have to take the oxide metal out and put new metal in.
The water simply works as a catalyst for the reaction.
