Nickel-Zinc could offer some unique benefits in 48-volt systems. It’s inherently very safe and also promises to provide equivalent emissions reductions, but at a lower cost. Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically very similar to nickel-cadmium, NiCd. The nickel-zinc cell delivers more than 0.4V

Start-stop systems shut off engines while the vehicle is at rest and restart it instantly and automatically upon re-engaging the gas pedal and are one of the most cost-effective and efficient means of optimizing fuel economy. Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically similar to nickel-cadmium, but differ significantly in their voltage.

based technology will actually achieve any economy in production. It was a Manufacturing Failure, as GM NEVER planned to build the car in Volume, so No Economies of Scale were ever achieved. If no one wants your car (because people think it sucks), then no one will buy it, regardless of how good the fuel economy may or may not be.
