Li-poly battery pack. Compared with nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium polymer batteries deliver the same power with 20-30% less weight, 40% less volume and 10% greater efficiency over the nickel-metal hydride batteries found in today’s hybrids. System net power [hp]. Hybrid system. Power split.

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. They will serve as guidelines for the research to be carried out on Li-air systems.

The Robust Affordable Next Generation EV-Storage (RANGE) program’s goal is to enable a 3X increase in electric vehicle range (from ~80 to ~240 miles per charge) with a simultaneous price reduction of > 1/3 (to ~ $30,000). ARPA-E anticipates making approximately 8- 12 awards under this FOA. Ceramic and other solid electrolyte batteries.

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).

Diesel buses typically operate for 18 to 20 hours per day, over a range of about 186-217 miles (300-350 km), using one tank of fuel. At many demonstration sites, fuel cell buses required refueling after about 200 km (93-124 miles). The most significant challenge was range.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) would combine today’s new gas-electric hybrid technology with larger batteries that could provide an all-electric operating range of 25 to 35 miles or more. The result is an 80+ mile-per-gallon vehicle — with even greater fuel economy possible utilizing bio-fuels.

Europe’s population is increasingly urban-centered, and Toyota research into commuting patterns shows that in the UK and France, more than 80% of car journeys cover a distance of less than 25 km (16 miles); in the UK around 80% are less than 10 km (6 miles) long.

But it works best if we use plug-in hybrids to power most of our miles electrically. We try to be careful to emphasize in the fine print that PHEVs can get over 100 miles/gallon of gasoline , PLUS electric costs of about 1-2 cents/mile. Lithium-Ion batteries share many characteristics with NiMH.

The MiEV runs on a lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged in seven or so hours on a 240-volt line. They are also useless if you ever need to drive over 100 to 200 miles in one trip.

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. Li though have many different types, weigh less and more power.
