| The Latest from Electric Vehicles | MORE | | Would Battery Leasing Ease Sticker Shock On Costly Electric Cars? There's no getting around it: Hybrids cost more than gasoline models, and plug-in electric cars cost a lot more than gas vehicles. Each type of green car cuts operating costs, either by raising gas mileage substantially or replacing gas costs with grid electricity that generally cuts the cost-per-mile by two-thirds or more. But that's a hard case Green Car Reports - Friday, May 18, 2012 | -
| The Best from Electric Vehicles | MORE | - Sumitomo considering marketing new lower-temperature molten-salt electrolyte battery to automakers for EVs and hybrids
Construction of the molten-salt electrolyte battery. is considering targeting its lower-temperature molten-salt electrolyte battery, being developed in partnership with Kyoto University ( earlier post ), to makers of electric and hybrid passenger cars, according to Bloomberg. drawback to the general class of molten salt batteries (e.g., Green Car Congress - Friday, November 11, 2011 - Mitsubishi Electric Shows Prototypes of Ultracapacitor-Battery Hybrid Energy Storage Device
Mitsubishi Electric Corp has demonstrated prototypes of a hybrid energy storage cell that combines the fast charge-discharge power capabilities and long life of an EDLC (electric double layer capacitor) and the greater energy storage capacity of a Li-ion battery in a single cell.

Green Car Congress - Sunday, March 18, 2012 - IBM Almaden Researchers Say Li-Air Batteries Offer Promise for Transition to Electrified Transportation, But Face Challenges and Multi-Decade Development Cycle
Four different architectures of Li-air batteries, which all assume the use of lithium metal as the anode. IBM and its partners have launched a multi-year research initiative exploring rechargeable Li-air systems: The Battery 500 Project. Fortunately, an energy density of 1700 Wh/kg for the fully charged battery corresponds only to 14.5% Green Car Congress - Friday, July 9, 2010 - Pellion Technologies leveraging high throughput computational materials design to make progress on Mg-ion rechargeable batteries
Persson, a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, described the benefit of using high throughput computation to tackle this problem in battery research. Magnesium-ion batteries theoretically could offer good electrochemical performance, while being safer and less expensive than Li-ion batteries. Batteries Green Car Congress - Monday, June 13, 2011 -
- UK Researchers Developing Rechargeable Lithium-Air Battery; Up to 10X the Capacity of Current Li-ion Cells
Oxygen drawn from the air reacts within the porous carbon to release the electrical charge in this lithium-air battery.
