Island,
They are targeting the SUV/car market, because in large batteries, safety is a much more important selling point than in cell phones. Li-ion is just fine for small electronics. Sure, once in a while, a laptop with go in smoke, or a cellphone will burn someone`s hear, but it won`t take a whole familly. And no, volumetric energy is not 1/5 but 1/3 that of Li-ion (250-300 Wh/L for commercial Li-ion). But since specific power is higher, the batteries do not need to be oversized for power.
