Li-Po powered cars in the $30k range.
Prismatic cells that put out 2100 amps :-O
I queried the website as well, to see what portion of the cost was in batteries and got this response: its basically a $20k car with ~$10K in lithium polymer batteries by Hypercell. Anyone know of these cells?

Hello Mike,
Our cells are manuactured for us by Hypercell, and MIT, with some assembly work being done by Huanyu for us.
Yes, they are often called softpacks. Technically we use two types, Prismatic, and Polymer. Both are flat packs.
The 24 KWh are designed to go in to existing EV's replacing their old lead packs. The design makes them an easy retrofit, but pricey. The price on those though is finally starting to move down as product is being brought in. Price on our bigger unit, the 43.5 KWh pack has come down 30% since January, I would expect the same of the 24 KWh pack once more buyers step up to the plate. I would expect that by the end of the year you will see the smaller pack sell for about 4 to 5 times the price of traditional lead packs, but with a lifetime of service. I would suggest putting a request for quote through around December of this year. Right now the buyers for this pack are high end, high performance EV's who have big budgets.
The packs are available through Ampmobiles.com
The Prismatic high performance cell we make will give you 2,100 amps. We limit the polymer internally to 600 amps.

Comments : Who's cells are you using? They look like soft packs similar to the Kokam's.
How much will a 24 KWH pack be selling for? ...and where will I be able to get one?
How much current can a single string of 200AH cells provide?
Thanks for the information.
