The only info I found on either of these is that the particles don't change significantly over 100 cycles. Not very good life performance at all. Maybe if they can get up to 500 cycles and make a much cheaper product, then they may have a chance for EVs. The more I read about them, the more I think that Altair Nano may be the way to go, although there may be many ways with EEStor, Firefly, A123, and this.
