The volumetric energy density is 60% of lithium ion batteries, but the energy density per kg is more like 75% since the batteries are lighter. Assuming that scales to the ev range, that’s probably sufficient for a lot of use cases.
I could see it being useful for semi trucks where volume isn't as much of an issue, especially if the batteries are hanging under the trailer.
