So yes, I see S4S' point- it was my mistaken identification of vanadium-based car batteries as "vanadium redox", which are rather large, when indeed they are a "hybrid" (at the risk of causing some confusion) between lithium and vanadium.
But the point is, according to a recent article, that a Chinese battery/auto company, one with significant investment by Warren Buffet, has started or is soon to start producing electric cars.. this may provide the price point we're looking for...And rumor is (I have yet to see a supporting article) that the batteries used in these cars will include vanadium.
All that said, it's common knowledge that much of what interest exists in vanadium is held by Chinese investors- now whether that's because they're planning battery production on a wide scale or because they plan to use it for steel strengthening in building materials, at this point I'm unsure.
But one question for S4S- you haven't acquired epilepsy yet from those light bulbs? And you may actually outrun me in your electric vehicle, but I've heard that thing...or rather, I haven't heard it. There's no way it's ever going to sound as good as a built big block, or provide the spectacular rumble...and that beautiful sweet high-octane gasoline smell...mmmmmm you don't know what you're missing.
