    Oh this story again. 🤦‍♂️

    So it’s half the voltage of lithium cells, and 3.75x less cycle lifetime, and 3x less energy density. So you need 8x the cells to reach the same energy capacity and you need to swap the pack 4x sooner to match the lifetime. This is a nonsensical idea on its face and this story has been recycled more in the past two months than it should have been.
