To be more precise, it’s the LC Super Hybrid, which has been conceived by the Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium and Controlled Power Technologies. Together they have created a car that can achieve a significant reduction in CO2 emissions thanks to using the [.]. Is it a bird… is it a plane… no, it’s a super hybrid.

While the industry is unregulated some of the lads started using electric motors (hub motors) similar to those produced by golden motor and run these pedicabs on the lead acid or gel batteries. The problem with it is that these are too slow and are messing around.

There are two battery lifespans that a car owner probably knows best: the 2-3 year lifespan of a smartphone lithium-ion battery and the 3-5 year lifespan of the conventional lead-acid battery in an ICE vehicle. It all comes down to the technology.

CO2 from cars does not contribute to smog and is not harmful to human health but it is one of the leading contributors to global warming. As a result, the plug-ins burn much less fuel, thereby significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Before the holidays, they had four cars on their waiting list. The conversion is simple.

If you just set aside the fantasy goal of an electric car with the same or better performance than an ICE powered car then we could build utilitarian short range EVs now, and could have been doing this coninually since 1900 with lead-acid batteries. There is significant cause vs. effect debate on CO2. We have oil!

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.

80 miles was the range of the EV1 with Lead Acid batteries, that GM tried to use because they wanted the project to fail. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2.
