Wow! $160,000 in 1966 dollars? In fifty years, for a given energy capacity and power delivery, we brought the cost down to Tesla's $16,000, - very good. We'll likely lick this problem within the next 25 years! Whether it's an electrochemical battery or a fuel cell remains to be seen.

An EFOY hydrogen fuel cell you can buy today for your motorhome. Only $7000 for a 2.5KWhr unit. Gasp!
