Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) such as the Toyota Prius have been an important market for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Market surpluses in the middle of the forecast period will drag prices down before renewed deficits at the end of the forecast horizon push prices higher again. weeks of consumption.

Bi-polar lead-acid batteries approach the storage densities of NiMH, but at lower cost. But bi-polar battery packs also have the potential for use in telecommunications, providing uninterrupted power supplies, stationary power and renewable energy power storage, both solar and wind applications.

Engineers from CSIRO modified Toyota Prius vehicles, removing the OEM battery pack and instead installing a larger 6kWh, 30Ah NiMH battery pack with five times the capacity of the original. This, alongside a battery charger, allows the cars to plug into and charge with electricity from the grid or from on-site renewable energy sources.

VW, Daimler subsidiary Daug and Varta developed a NimH battery in the early 90s, and the VW group put the Audi duo hybrid on the road in 1997. What is the potential of renewable energy sources? This trend is no fad, but a fundamental paradigm shift.”. Volkswagen had begun exploring hybrid and electric drive technology in the 1990s.

Even so, most next gen EV manufacturers are focused on lithium ion (and to a lesser extent NiMH) as the core technology to power their cars. More often than not, the “recycling&# of NiMH or lithium-ion batteries involves shipping them off to places like China, where their fate is truly unknown. Follow the money.

Though as the environmental lobby constantly points out, electric vehiclesonly provide a significant emissions benefit if their batteries are chargedby clean power from renewable resources. The widespread adoption of electric cars would put a considerable extra strainon the power-genera-tion industry.
