The big thing using carbon nanotubes is the development of high-density ultracapacitor batteries that could soon store as much energy on a per-pound basis as lithium-ion batteries but with a very small fraction of the charging time. Imagine charging an electric car battery pack in maybe two minutes at most!

Fast charging batteries would be great but now sure how practical it would be for large battery packs - how would the energy get to the battery?

Now imagine getting into a collision which results in all that energy being released in a millisecond...
