They compiled a transparent life cycle inventory (LCI) in a component-wise manner for nickel metal hydride (NiMH), nickel cobalt manganese lithium-ion (NCM), and iron phosphate lithium-ion (LFP) batteries. A paper on the study appears in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. —Majeau-Bettez et al.

Overall, the BMS is designed to be universal—suitable for other energy storage systems such as NiMH or ultracapacitors as well as Li-ion batteries. if a current supplier could not meet production volumes—and would reduce risk by more cost-effectively supporting future changes. It would provide flexibility for dual sourcing—e.g.,

I kept asking GM people when the car was going into production. But things changed for Cox when GM came out with a new version of the EV1 with a non-toxic nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery with more than twice the energy of the original lead acid battery. This doubled the range of the car and his problem was solved.

"When I first visited the BYD factory, I was shocked," says Daniel Kim, a Merrill Lynch technology analyst based in Hong Kong, who has been to the fully automated production lines in Japan and Korea. Deploying the armies of laborers at BYD is an officer corps of managers and engineers who invent and design the products.

For more on plug-in hybrids and V2G, see CalCars Resources , University of Delaware V2G Research Center , and papers from a June 2005 conference in Seattle. Lithium-Ion batteries share many characteristics with NiMH. Unfortunately you can no longer buy a new highway-capable production electric vehicle in the U.S.

Virtually all the world’s bigmotor manufacturers are building prototypes using lithium-ion batteries butso far they have reached production only in a few low-volume models. The electric Mini is unlikely to go into production in its present form. Is it becuase US market prefers a "home" product?
