Very nice. Energy density is a major limiting factor in many applications, chief of them being electric car design. It's why modern electric cars are so tall compared to earlier gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicles (you need extra space for the battery packs), which comes with handling penalties - among other engineering tradeoffs.
