NiZn offers superior energy and power density compared to lead-acid and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) and avoids the high costs and safety issues associated with Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically very similar to nickel-cadmium, NiCd. Marc Nalbach of HELLA. Source: PowerGenix.

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. It’s an efficient way of using 7kW of stored electrical power to deliver not less than six times that at the crankshaft.

In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. As utilities shifted to more reliable alternating-current systems, they phased out these costly backup batteries. light-duty vehicle fleet would produce around 16 times the output of stationary power plants.

ARPA-E’s RANGE program seeks to improve EV driving range and reduce vehicle costs by re-envisioning the total EV battery system, rather than working to increase the energy density of individual battery cells. Naval Research Laboratory, will develop a low-cost battery using zinc-air technology. Princeton University.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. Posted by: canderson | Apr 13, 2009 5:02:50 PM The EV1 gave drivers 80 miles on a charge. The car is expected to cost around $40,000.
