Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly.

Unsurprisingly, one-third of the price of an electric car goes to batteries. Along with sodium-based alternatives, could soon supplant the seemingly obsolete lithium-ion battery. #2. Having a good infrastructure for recharging electric cars very important to increase electric vehicle mobility globally. Solar cars.

Price tag: about $25,000, made from 95% recyclable materials with a top speed of 65 miles per hour and range of 110 miles per charge. The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea).
