It looks promising. Even despite a limited amount of charges, the energy density is looking good.

Scientists boost battery strength with small holes
The article was using 150 charges as an example.
It says that it is 5x better than standard Lithium-ion.
LiFePO4 is about 4-5x better than standard Lithium-ion.
So this would be definately be an improvement.
For eV applications this would mean lighter packs/longer range.
The recharge time is not much of a concern as there are limited sub-stations dedicated to just charging one car...

So the short answer is NO but the long answer is YES.
