Oh yeah....that'll be good for the land fills, along with all the other batteries from electric cars. In the year 3000.

It's a good application. Vanadium redox flow batteries have been around for quite some time (used for stationary energy storage) but they lack the energy/power density of lithium. Lithium is the game changer in EV's.
