The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery is charged when applying the brakes or coasting. Because of this we don’t address issues such as long-term reliability or total cost of ownership. Your numbers may differ. Our road tests are based on this one-week drive of a new vehicle.

Their similarities are that each have regenerative braking, which converts kinetic energy into electric energy and stores it in the nickel-metal-hydride battery. Because of this we don’t address issues such as long-term reliability or total cost of ownership.

Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids. Considering the cost of batteries, these are disposable cars. I don’t just drive to work everyday with nothing more than a bag of golf clubs like the TV ads profess Californians are doing.

There are companies that are reinventing the lead-acid battery to make it more competitive with lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride in terms of storage capacity versus weight, durability, and cold weather performance. But that cost in a built as an EV is much less than an ICE’s costs by about 1/2.
