Nanostructured Li-ion Batteries for Electric Cars

Posted by Zonk on from the total-overkill-but-totally-appreciated dept.

schliz writes "Researchers at the Delft University of Technology are developing nanostructured batteries that are expected to deliver more usage between charges, and shorter charge/discharge times, to mobile consumers within the next five years. The batteries will improve electric and hybrid vehicles, researchers say."

    batteries that are expected to deliver more usage between charges, and shorter charge/discharge times

    I believe Sony has perfected the battery with the absolute fastest discharge time. I don't see how this can compete.

      Actually they have reduced the discharge time to milliseconds. That's the good news, the bad news instead of rating the discharge in volts they rate them in megatons.

    Yeah, I hear those Lion batteries require a lot of mametenance. I surprised the Chrysler Prowler isn't Lion powered. Though you can be sure owners of such cars will take a lot of pride in them. They don't call you King of the concrete jungle for nothing!

    yes, but gasoline tends to prevent you being really independent. Put up some solar cells, a wind-turbine or whatever, use some batteries for your electric car ... and nobody takes your ability to drive away !

    Driving back, however... :-)
