Carbon fibers have already beeen demonstrated as high-capacity Li-ion battery anodes, opening the way for their use as structural electrodes—i.e., This is why the IM CFs with a lithiation mechanism reminiscent of disordered carbons outperform the HM CF with its larger crystallites highly oriented along the fibre direction.

Woven carbon fiber can act as an electrode for lithium ion batteries. Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car. In this €3.4-million

Researchers in Sweden have examined the possibility of using the vehicle shell as a battery casing. Automakers seem to be in agreement that the ‘skateboard’ location for heavy battery packs—low and wide beneath the passenger floor—is the ideal layout for electric vehicles. Decades from now that might not be the case.

The four-year partnership, using real-world driving data from tests on public roads and test tracks in both Sweden and the UK, has shown that the flywheel-based hybrid technology can deliver an 80 hp (60 kW) performance boost, together with fuel savings of up to 25%. The carbon fiber wheel spins in a vacuum to minimize frictional losses.

Porsche has shown off its electric GT4 ePerformance racecar at an ice track race in Sweden. First shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year , the Porsche GT4 ePerformance has made another debut, this time at an ice track race in Northern Sweden. The Porsche GT4 ePerformance is a serious racecar, no question about it.
