Battery powered record of 75 MPH on AA cells!

There hasn't been much good news recently for Panasonic on the automotive battery front with reports of delays to Toyota's plans to use lithium ion batteries in the next-generation Prius. However there was one recent bright spot when driver Takashi Sudo piloted the 84 lb. Oxyride racer to a record 75 mph. Unlike production type vehicles this one was powered by 192 AA batteries.
