No, I posted the datasheet of the cell they use which is an energy type cell commonly found in our laptops. A electric vehicle needs power type cells. If they went with the A123 cells we use in our little cars (Yes, we are far ahead of the Tesla
), they wouldn't need a pack the ways 1000lbs, plus if they used 6831 of the A123, the pack would weigh much more, but would provide enough energy to meet the range probably under full load if the motor and inverter doesn't over heat.
