CPT/AVL Study: New Generation of Micro-Hybrid Technologies Can Enable More than 25% Reduction in Fuel Consumption at Lower Cost Than Full Hybrid Drive Systems

Green Car Congress

The use of a carbon-enhanced valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery will help maximize energy recuperation during deceleration, fully realizing SpeedStart’s potential for high power generation and hence electrical energy recovery. This compares with €6,000 to more than €18,000 for a full hybrid or electric vehicle. —Guy Morris.

Pike forecasts NEV market to remain small, although with double the growth rate of light-duty vehicles to 2017

Green Car Congress

The rise in gas prices, the aging population, and the increase in master planning and community density all point to trends that will encourage NEV adoption. Pike notes that essentially all NEVs use deep cycle lead-acid batteries due to their lower cost of between $100 to $200 per kWh. between 2011 and 2017. Technology.
