That must be one heck of a HUGE cell. Lessee, the typical small EV uses around 145 Wh/km, so to go 600km would require 87kWh. A 3.7 volt nominal cell would thus have to have a capacity of 23,514 amp-hours. Wow! Looks like Korean newspaper reporters don't have any more science education than US reporters do, nor do their editors. It would be nice to know whether this new Samsung cell is really a useful development, but you sure can't tell from this article.
