Weigand is looking for a “500-mile battery” such as a Li-O 2 (Lithium air) thin film nano-technology system and for 50% efficient photovoltaic cells. The plan requires significant scientific advances; key technology drivers for the NZN are highly energy dense, mass-market, interchangeable energy storage products (e.g.,
