Storage Too Heavy

"Carrying the yet-to-be-used energy is the major obstacle?"

"Too much mass and not enough unit volume for economies of scale … yet."

"Has anyone considered life-sized Lithium-Ion (LI-ION) on trains yet? Seems regeneration could work quite well in such a scenario. This to mitigate the carried storage mass problem."

"How about a LI-ION box car? Ship energy-storage units as intermodal containers to where they are needed by rail when existing transmission is not timely and/or available?."

"A bit off the subject. How about HybrID as a name?"
