While the Altair battery offers some theoretical advantages over the Tesla
power pack, neither is a complete solution. The Altair battery's basic
configuration is 13v. @ 88 Ah.

That isn't a very long drive in an electric-only vehicle.

However, in a

Charge time for the Altair batteries is only a few minutes as I
recall.
