Day after day, we recharge batteries and expect them to work without giving a thought to how they work or to their state of health. He's one of the pioneers of lithium-ion battery technology. DON'T MISS: Lithium-ion battery packs now $209 per kwh, will fall to $100 by 2025. We tend to take batteries for granted.

Regular Hybrids Regular hybrids recharge their onboard nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion battery packs by reclaiming energy through a process called regenerative braking. During coasting or braking, the electric motor that drives the wheels is electrically operated in reverse and acts as a generator.
