While Linde hydrogen fueling systems involve very sophisticated technology, the filling operation is designed to be relatively simple and is much like putting gasoline into your car. The lead acid batteries that formerly powered BMW’s lifts and trucks were replaced with GenDrive hydrogen fuel cell power solutions from Plug Power Inc.,

The earliest electric car batteries were disposable and were disposed of when they ran out of power, so there was no concept of recharging them. The invention of rechargeable batteries meant that newer models of electric cars could use the same batteries without having to be replaced. Corner of Battery Room.

3 David Herron said on March 16th, 2009 at 12:31 am Fast recharge will require huge power levels. To recharge 20 kilowatt-hours of capacity in 5 minutes requires 240 kilowatts of electricity. But besides that, the only electronics potentially benefiting from THIS breakthrough are RCs and household rechargeable batteries.

The government sees environmental upsides and a chance for its car makers to gain ground on foreign rivals, since electric vehicles are simpler to engineer than gasoline-engine ones. Chinese auto makers also showed other types of "new energy" vehicles, including regular gasoline-electric hybrids to compete with Toyota Motor Corp.s

The battery can be recharged by plugging the car into any electrical socket and allows the Prius to run entirely on electricity for speeds up to 34 miles per hour. Going faster than that triggers the car’s gasoline-powered engine, transforming the vehicle back into a traditional hybrid. The conversion is simple.

CPT says that the RegEnBoost system enables a typical family-sized car to achieve less than 100 g/km CO 2 with a 1-liter gasoline engine, but when required can offer the same lively performance and in-gear acceleration of a 2-liter naturally aspirated powertrain.

Without gasoline, today’s transportation fails. Lithium, nickel metal hydrides and even advanced lead acid products are now capable of great energy storage and have strong recycle lives. Consumer confidence in electric transportation is growing – aided in no small part by $4 to $5 gallons of gasoline.

It is reminiscent of the early 1900’s, when steam, electric, diesel, biomass, and gasoline power options competed on a level playing field for consumers’ attention. In the end, gasoline won out because it was the cheapest and delivered the most energy per unit, but it took 20 years to sort out. The transplant car companies….aren’t

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. What the Volt has that electric cars lack is the ability to extend its range by means of burning gasoline, the most popular fuel among cars in the US.
