Correction!

the 410V BatScap LMP battery pack has a capacity of 30kWh, and peak power output of 45kW. Gravimetric energy density is 100Wh/kg, and volumetric energy density is 100Wh/L.

the LMP battery can be recharged at a traditional mains plug and supports a range of 250 km (155 miles). The battery pack is housed below the floorpan and between the two axles.

The BLUECAR uses a 50 kW traction motor & uses supercapacitors to provide greater power for acceleration.

how much does one laptop li-ion/ li-poly battery cost to us?

maybe it takes 20 packs of laptop batteries to generate the same amount of mAh as the LMP battery pack.

same goes the calculation of electricity consumption it takes to recharge vs the laptop battery packs.
