What are their capacities?

The point is cost and energy density has radically improved

2005 is 6500 mAhr NiMH 200 lbs
2020 is 1.4 Kwhr LiH 59 lbs

The next 5-10 years could see batteries that are 1/3 cheaper and fully charge in under 15 mins
Some Chinese manufacturers are now investigating swap and go batteries that can be changed in 3 mins.
