    The tech is very old, but the Chinese eggheads appear to have miniaturised it.
It, looking at the reports, is likely to take a year or two before it's usable, and we have no idea about costs when it hits the retail market.
However, this is eactly the sort of thing that might well change the viability of EVs
Range anxiety and charging times are the biggest issues at the moment, but tech of this sort has the potential to create a car with unlimited range and zero ongoing fuel costs.
Think how much that will save over the average life of a car.

I agree with you. And the tech is old, dating back to the 60's but miniaturization plays a big part in this, as you say, and also the company's 4th gen diamond semiconductor manufacturing process which creates electrical efficiency and they currently lead the world in...I think (never know for sure what people elsewhere are working on). A diamond semiconductor with something that has a higher decay rate the nickel 60, but not as short living as strontium 90, may be in the cards.
