Although NiMH is still the dominant battery in the high-voltage hybrid market, Li-ion technology started to take market share around 2009 and is expected to continually increase its share with time. According to the report’s baseline estimate, the global Li-ion xEV business will reach $3.8 billion in 2015 and $9.2

Leveraging some 20 years of experience and data reaching back to its early work with hybrids and the Ranger EV, Ford has developed a battery model and life validation protocol it now uses to predict how lithium-ion batteries are likely to perform under 10 years and 150,000 miles of use (40-season equivalent key life tests).

Despite significant progress, fuel cell durability must be substantially increased and/or the cost of replacement fuel cell stacks must be substantially decreased. Fuel cell hybrid buses are deployed in North America, at AC Transit and SunLine in California, and CTTRANSIT in Connecticut. Energy Storage.

Nothing has to be invented to produce a plug-in hybrid vehicle,” says Dr. Andrew Frank, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of California at Davis and Director of the UCD Hybrid Electric Research Center. For example, an area pest control company has pledged to buy up to 150 light weight plug-in trucks, once they are produced.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. The EPRI says lithium-ion batteries are ready now.

It is aggressively in talks with Portland General Electric Plug-In Charging Stations , ( POR ) and other states including Michigan, and California that are scrambling to offer incentives. The MiEV runs on a lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged in seven or so hours on a 240-volt line. safety requirements.
