Several battery technologies are able to provide these functions in different combinations, with nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion batteries preferred at higher voltages due to their fast recharge capability, good discharge performance and lifetime endurance. Other battery technologies (nickel-metal hydride, lead-based etc.)

The nickel-metal hydride used in EV batteries is in maintenance-free sealed cells, so nothing gets in or out. Most high-end models, such as those from Tesla , Audi’s e-Tron and the Mercedes Benz EQC SUVs , are so advanced that they are as close as legally possible to offering full driverless capabilities.

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.)

Toyotas Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are considered "non-hazardous waste" [See "high voltage electrical systems" ]. Though the Ni-MH batteries were originally warranteed for 75,000 miles, these cars have routinely exceed 120,000 miles and are still going strong. Are the batteries recyclable?

It had a 110 kW electric motor, and a nickel-metal hydride battery served as a buffer. The actual bursting pressure is much higher still and far exceeds the legal requirements. The first technology demonstrator was the compact A2H2 in 2004, which was already equipped with a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM).
