Johnson Controls study finds 97% of US consumers interested in start-stop technology in vehicles

Green Car Congress

The system generally relies on an advanced lead-acid battery—such as those provided by Johnson Controls—that can handle the deep cycling requirements of more frequent starts throughout the course of a trip. The research was conducted with gas prices ranging from $4 to $6.

Scoping out the Trunk

Open Source Civic EV Kit

The car is quite zippy as a gas car and is fun to drive. I'm not completely decided on the battery for this project, but I'm targeting a group-31 size so that people can use Optimas, Dekas, Odysseys, or even Wal-Mart deep cycle specials (they're only $75!) Here's a center view of the trunk.

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.
