The idea of using a flow battery in a vehicle isn't new. This paper is from 1988: https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.do...GZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1534330441&Signature=JQDMi0Tv8M%2F1g1EPFSOL%2FFH%2FoZc%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DInfluence_of_substrate_bias_on_the_struc.pdf
2 years ago this article suggested flow batteries as wildcard for EVs: https://www.idtechex.com/research/articl...010075.asp
Current news reports are based on this research at Glasgow: https://www.gla.ac.uk/news/headline_601603_en.html
I think we're still a fair way from this being mainstream technology for cars (flow batteries are already fairly well developed for staitc storage) but it's good to see that there's research in the field as lithium batteries with charging stations are far from ideal.
