It's not about a percentage of the max power for highway cruising, it's a specific Wh/mile based on rolling resistance/aerodynamics and to a certain extent, vehicle mass... with an educated guess on Wh/mile for the Ultimate Aero, I would say 220Wh/mile at 65 - 70mph, 220Wh x 65mph = 14,000 watts. 220Wh/mile x 200 miles range = 44,000kwh pack... assuming they use a voltage around 400 volts, 44,000kwh / 400 volts = 110 Ah. This is by not means difficult to do in a super car, this would be roughly 500 - 600lb. battery pack with today's lipo cells.
Lutach, that MIT battery tech was sold to two companies, one being A123, and the other was not stated, but most likely to this Belgium company you talk about.
I would love for you to post all this technology here so I can see it, rather than vaporware.
It's not simply about SSC bull$%&$*#! everyone here, from what they have said, that is WAY past the BS stage, it's a JOKE. So like I said before, it's either all a big sick joke, with the gun pointed at themselves... OR they have harnessed some exotic technology to make their claims real. Everyone laughed at them a few years ago when they said they would make the worlds fastest car, but look at them, they said they would do something, and then they actually went and did exactly what they said they would do, and then some.
Who makes these 200C batteries you speak of? I would love to know.

I can't mention who makes the cells as I would hate to loose my client. They make them for military use and thrust me they are robust. Have you contacted the Canadian companies that are in the industry? If I had the cash and the backing of a big company, I would take all my ideas off the drawing board.
Here is a German company that has a nice looking inverter:

It's the S31. They also make a nice little motor the M68.
