With the same calculations, NiMh offers 214 Wh/kg, and cobalt oxide Li-ion cells offer 414 Wh/kg. Current prominent battery systems such as Li-ion and NiMH demonstrate “ huge gaps ” between expected and practical performances, the researchers note. The proposed Ni-Li battery offers both a high cell voltage (3.49 Earlier post.].

The vans, which have a 20-mile all-electric range, will be outfitted with either nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries or lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries. A number of leading energy efficiency and environmental organizations also support plug-in vehicles as important to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming.

The NiMH batteries (same chemistry as in every Prius, including the PHEV under review here) which take my Toyota RAV4 EV over 100 miles using 10 year old technology and existing electric infrastructure and cost perhaps $20,000 in minimal production numbers, aren't considered ready for prime time and are often said to be too expensive.

Alternative combinations, such as Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), which has a little better lifetime, are occasionally used. Two electrodes, one positive and one negative are sandwiched around an organic (carbon-containing) liquid to make up a lithium-ion battery.

While other national and international organizations have been supportive at government hearings, they havent yet begun to advocate for PHEVs. Lithium-Ion batteries share many characteristics with NiMH. What do environmental groups think of PHEVs? Alternative Fuels to top Whats the deal with ethanol? What about battery safety?

By 2002, BYD had become one of the top four manufacturers worldwide - and the largest Chinese manufacturer - in each of the three rechargeable battery technologies (Li-Ion, NiCad, and NiMH), according to a Harvard Business School case study of the company. "The good news is, hes 42 years old," Sokol says.

Even so, most next gen EV manufacturers are focused on lithium ion (and to a lesser extent NiMH) as the core technology to power their cars. More often than not, the “recycling&# of NiMH or lithium-ion batteries involves shipping them off to places like China, where their fate is truly unknown.
