Flow batteries, at least the kind that are commercially adoptable in the present/near-future (Vanadium redox), scale in capacity very easily. The downsides are twofold:

  * Poor power density
  * Relatively limited nominal power output
These compromises are fine for stationary applications, but for vehicles, they'd be a riskier bet as far as I'm aware.
