They compiled a transparent life cycle inventory (LCI) in a component-wise manner for nickel metal hydride (NiMH), nickel cobalt manganese lithium-ion (NCM), and iron phosphate lithium-ion (LFP) batteries. A paper on the study appears in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. —Majeau-Bettez et al.

Ah NimH battery pack. gHEV deceleration events allow for the recapture of energy via regenerative braking, while this energy is unrecoverable and wasted by the diesel vehicle. System voltage is 288 VDC nominal. The electric power train is a higher efficiency option for these transient events.

A new nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is used with a revised construction and more compact cooling system that allows for smaller dimensions overall. Beyond that point, any additional, regenerated energy could not be recovered, effectively wasting it.

The acceleration was significantly better than my RAV, no doubt due to the Li-Ion battery pack weighing about 400-500 lbs less than the Toyota’s NiMH pack. This is the same with gas cars, too, but so much energy is wasted with internal combustion that most people don’t care about the loss from extra weight.

liter, 98 hp (73 kW) VVT-i gas engine, a 60 kW (80 hp) electric motor, a generator, a high performance NiMH battery, a power control unit, and a power split device which employs a planetary gear set to combine and re-allocate power from the engine, electric motor and generator according to operational requirements. High Output Battery.

Anything more is wasted in my opinion. This is probably because, unlike NiMH batteries, LiIon doesn’t like being fully depleted or fully charged. This is exactly the distance I consider to be the sweet spot for an EV. If you need a long distance car, you should be driving a plug-in hybrid.

MG 1 starts the gasoline engine and charges the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, while MG2 drives the front wheels and regenerates the battery during braking and coasting, and MGR drives the rear wheels and also regenerates the battery. The system comprises a 3.5-liter Stopping was straight, with strong brakes and excellent pedal feel.
