The same force at work here is the same force that gave us $4 a gallon gas. Maybe if we just all believe hard enough, it will make it come true. I'm asking Santa for an Eestor battery to replace the NiMh battery in my hybrid. It's about as likely a anything else being produced this year (or next). PT Barnum would have a field day with this!

Something fishy going on here?

And of course, for night time charging, a regulator could parse out the electricity so as to not overheat the grid. It would charge instantly from the gas engine as well. I believe the best use is Li-on with capacitors to even out and regulate energy flow, keeping peak demands off the battery, extending its life and improving performance as well.
