Advanced lead-based batteries (AGM and EFB technologies) are installed to meet extra requirements in start-stop and basic- micro-hybrid vehicles, due to their increased charge recoverability and higher deep-cycle resistance. Other battery technologies (nickel-metal hydride, lead-based etc.) Nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Drive batteries are installed with crash safety in mind. The drive battery in most EV models, such as the S KODA ENYA iV , is installed in the car’s underbody, protected against deformation. The nickel-metal hydride used in EV batteries is in maintenance-free sealed cells, so nothing gets in or out.

As for warranties , there is legal precedent that original auto warranties cannot be voided completely by modifications — only the part(s) affected by retrofit will have their warranties affected. We will have similar solutions available for better (but more expensive) nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries.)

Unless/until PV cells become more efficient, and are part of the original installation, they will seriously affect the cars aerodynamics and will be far less durable than metal. Toyotas Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are considered "non-hazardous waste" [See "high voltage electrical systems" ].

Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. Installation of CCS charging stations has already begun in Europe and the United States. It had a 110 kW electric motor, and a nickel-metal hydride battery served as a buffer.
