What about the batteries, though? How would Japan source those? All-in into aluminium-air?

The good thing about modern batteries is that in a decade after they are new and are down to 80% capacity, if that's not enough for you and you want to keep the car, a new battery will be cheaper and/or better

Leaf owners got twice the range from new batteries compared to the car when it was new

it would be sick if they could make an aluminium-air battery
