Hybrid vehicles , including advanced micro-hybrid, mild-hybrid and full-hybrid vehicles rely on the battery to play a more active role, with the energy stored from braking used to boost the vehicle’s acceleration. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.

i-ELOOP (short for “intelligent Energy Loop”) uses a supercapacitor to store electricity recovered during deceleration to power the vehicle’s electrical systems, thereby improving fuel economy. Most are available with i-ELOOP as well as i-stop.

EnZinc’s porous, sponge-like zinc component prevents battery failure and enables high-power charge and discharge. If successful, EnZinc’s zinc-air technology could reduce electric vehicle battery cost by more than half. Long-Life Rechargeable Alkaline Battery for EVs. Long-Life, Acid-Based Battery.

Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. If too much or too little electricity is present in the power grid, the network can suddenly become unbalanced. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.

In April, Axion Power International Inc received an order from Norfolk Southern Corp (NS) for PbC lead-carbon batteries for use in an all-battery-powered switcher locomotive. The contract is also a milestone in NS’ quest for a battery/hybrid locomotive, which reaches back a number of years to the Green Goat effort.

Electric cars remain dependent on the development of better,affordable batteries. The hybrid models available today use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short.

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. Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. Way to go morons. check your facts.
