This part seems innovative, and may overcome a significant shortfall of current battery technology: ...recharging them [flow cell batteries] does not take hours and hours. All that is required to recharge them is to exchange spent electrolytes (which can be recharged outside the vehicle) for new,

Why do I see sale of stock as the next move toward production? Just perhaps, the idea of having exchangeable liquids to give instant recharge is the quantum leap forward away from the limitation of heavy and expensive batteries that take hours to recharge and have a finite life cycle of number of
