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. While DC fast charging stations are faster, they require a significantly higher investment.

The earliest electric car batteries were disposable and were disposed of when they ran out of power, so there was no concept of recharging them. The invention of rechargeable batteries meant that newer models of electric cars could use the same batteries without having to be replaced. Corner of Battery Room. Corner of Battery Room.

DC fast charging is not available, unlike the Ioniq Electric, which can recharge to 80% in 30 minutes at 50 kW (23 minutes at 100 kW). In addition, the lead-acid auxiliary 12V battery found in competitors’ hybrid models has been omitted for the Ioniq Hybrid, resulting in an approximate 26-pound reduction in weight.

OBC: The onboard charger, a piece of power electronics equipment that converts the AC power from the grid to a DC voltage that is used to charge the battery (technically, it would make more sense to call this the charger). The OBC is usually a metal box hidden somewhere on the vehicle, which EV owners never see.

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.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. 80 miles was the range of the EV1 with Lead Acid batteries, that GM tried to use because they wanted the project to fail. check your facts.
