ONE’s hybrid battery pack combines the best aspects of two chemistries to deliver 600 miles of EV range

Charged EVs

We’ve been reading about “ultra-high-energy batteries” and “new batteries that can be charged in 5 minutes” for a decade, but those articles typically leave out the chemistry’s other characteristics, which may fall short of the requirements of EVs. The challenge is that anode-free cells still have low cycle life.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Already Porsche, Mercedes and other high-end automotive manufacturers are making such PHEVs because of the availability of low-cost electricity from wind and solar and the availability of government incentives which make them competitively priced in the beginning. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention.
