aaron - read the article. A range of 250 miles on a single battery charge is a major improvement for electric vehicles, which in the past have been limited to around 100 miles.
that being said, there are a lot of proprietary battery technologies being developed that could help improve future electric vehicles, most notably in terms of charge time. Toshiba, Altair Nanotech, and A123 are all developing fast charge lithium batteries. (Some or all of these are lithium polymer systems, as opposed to traditional liquid electrolyte. I'm not sure groups are doing what).
ALSO, having the decency and common sense to include a two-speed transmission so the car can get past 100mph is another kind act by the folks at Tesla.
