UK Collaboration Develops Plug-in Hybrid Retrofit for Conventional Vehicles

Green Car Congress

APRIL 30, 2009

A collaboration led by the UK’s Cranfield University has developed a retrofit plug-in hybrid conversion system for a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle. This transformed the van into a hybrid vehicle capable of achieving an all-electric range of more than 20 km (12 miles) on one charge. Source: Cranfield. Earlier post.).

Compared to Li-ion batteries: PbC batteries are more affordable [3x] than lithium-ion or supercapacitors; PbC batteries have recycling value at end-of-life [$35/lbs], while Lithium-ion batteries have recycling cost at end-of-life [~$75/lbs].
