Volvo's latest concept - it runs on cellphone batteries!

According to an automobile publication called Motoring, Volvo had the equivalent of a high-speed milk float powered by giant versions of cellphone batteries as part of its display at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Shanghai, China.

"Volvo chose pure battery power as the means of locomotion. The batteries are lithium-ion cells (yes, the same as in your laptop computer, but mega-bigger) with a potential range of 300km, a governed top speed of 135km/h and a 0-100km/h launch time of bout 10 seconds."
