Here's the numbers:

...we estimate that optimized SSFC systems using established lithium intercalation compounds could have energy densities of 300–500 Wh L−1 (specific energy 130–250 Wh kg−1), which would satisfy metrics considered necessary for widespread adoption of all-electric vehicles.[4] Further improvements would be possible by ‘dropping in’ higher-energy-density or lower-cost storage compounds in the SSFC platform as they are developed.

So 0.47-0.90 MJ/kg. Based on theoretical calculations -- they haven't actually engineered this.
