Fisker says the new batteries will give its vehicles a range of more than 500 miles per charge, with the capability to power up in less than one minute.

Those numbers are incredible, if they actually turn out to be true it would mean that owning an electric car would be just as convenient as an ICE powered car.  I hope it isn't just a publicity stunt.  We've had our share of companies over the last 10 years who've claimed revolutionary battery technology, but somehow they don't make it to market.

Even if it's substantially hyped I could live with a much-downgraded version, say, 400 mi range and 15 minute recharge.
