Fisker automobiles are range-extended electric vehicles, driven by electric motors that get their power from a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, or, when that is depleted, by a generator driven by an efficient gas-powered engine.

A team of researchers in South Korea and Italy has demonstrated a highly reliable lithium–sulfur battery showing cycle performance comparable to that of commercially available lithium-ion batteries while offering more than double the energy density. The full lithium-ion sulfur cell presented in the study delivers a capacity of

The system’s high-capacity main drive lithium-ion battery pack can also act as a mobile power source.

Light-duty vehicles (LDVs) in the US may be able to reduce petroleum use by 50% by 2030, and by 80% by 2050; and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050, according to the newly published results of a two-year study by a committee convened by the National Research Council.

Here’s a step-by-step look at the 14-point plan: Point one: The French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) will launch a call for projects on infrastructure costs to support plug-in demonstrators and trials and to validate an ecosystem of rechargeable vehicles. It is hoped to have 100,000 vehicles by 2015.

The concept expresses a potential styling direction for Honda’s next-generation fuel-cell vehicle anticipated to launch in the US and Japan in 2015, followed by Europe. To achieve societal goals of significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, more and more consumers will need to drive zero-emissions vehicles.

In general, EV charging stations are “cleaner” than using gas pump carriers because of the simple fact that fewer people are using them. In contrast, instructions for the Nissan Leaf (2015) and Hyundai Kona suggest leaving the car nearly fully charged and only recharging it once every three months. Maintaining the EV’s battery.

With the cost of recharging batteries much less than petrol, and electricity, even when taken from non-renewable sources, having far less impact on the environment, plug-ins could present a more immediate solution to global warming concerns. In the West it appears that plug-in hybrids are an attractive solution.

They are among the first of 1,000 examples that Hyundai has committed to produce between now and 2015 and are built on the same production line in Ulsan, Korea as the Tucson. The Lithium-ion batteries are mounted low in the center of the car for optimum weight distribution and to provide a low center of gravity.
