Depends on how close they can be made in watt-hours per kilo. They might be good enough for vehicles once the technology comes into reasonably widespread use, while avoiding a lot of the issues with trying to acquire sufficient lithium.

At some point, that car won't be cost-effective to repair, and you'll want to replace it. Be a lot better to have strong privacy legislation in place when that happens.

More that peoples' movement data isn't worth much, so it wouldn't be a big deal to impose legal requirements on keeping it private.

They're also buying tracking data from phone apps, so you'd need to make sure you're not running any of those either.
