Yes, but the country with the most of them actually control what goes out. I contacted a few battery manufacturers that are working with what they claim are very high power batteries about making some for us RC guys and they actually tell me the RC industry has been using high power batteries way before the auto industry. I guess most of the players will be going to mainly supply the auto industry.
