What you forget is LiIon take TWICE as long to recharge as discharge... and have a nasty habit of catching on fire or exploding under high current conditions.
This, for the large part, make them unsuitable at this time for vehicle use.

Ooooh, that wouldnt be good "floor it, and burst into flames"
The charging part would be a big factor too. run it low and charge for twice the amount of time, I would guess those would be LiIon cons..
