Rechargeable membrane-less hydrogen bromine flow battery shows high power density

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. The membrane-less design enables power densities of 0.795?W?cm 2 at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a round-trip voltage efficiency of 92% at 25% of peak power.

Why is maintaining 80% battery power the best choice for EVs? | EV Basics

Setec Powerr

While manufacturers typically strive to increase the battery capacity to improve the range of an EV, the “EV 80% rule” suggests that Charging the EV to about 80% will maintain optimal battery performance and life over time. You’ll stop and power up before hitting zero miles, but let’s keep things simple and say 240.

INFINITI says new gasoline-generated EV system (Nissan e-POWER) central to electrification strategy

Green Car Congress

These include fully-electric systems, as well as a gasoline-generated EV system (known as e-POWER at Nissan, earlier post ) in which a gasoline engine generates electrical power stored in a battery (series hybrid), which can then be delivered to all four wheels through a pair of high-output electric motors. Earlier post.)
