It's an interesting proof-of-concept that may end up in a mass-production EV one day.

For every small trip or for small courses in the city.
The high density battery would provide a big range extension, when needed, at a lower weight, without being worn out by constant loading cycles (as it has a worse durability than the LFP).
Again, that's only my subjective interpretation.
