Israeli Firm Makes Kilomile Claims For Electric Car Battery Tech

Posted by timothy on from the proclaimers-need-to-up-their-game-a-bit dept.

cylonlover writes with this tantalizing excerpt from GizMag "Israel-based company Phinergy claims to have developed metal-air battery technology that promises to end the range anxiety associated with electric vehicles. The company's battery currently consists of 50 aluminum plates, each providing energy for around 20 miles (32 km) of driving. This adds up to a total potential range of 1,000 miles (1,609 km), with stops required only every couple of hundred miles to refill the system with water."

    US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation

    About BDS

    Boycott and Divestment Campaigns

    In 2005 Palestinian civil society issued a call to the world to apply boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel until it upheld international law. Signed by more than 170 Palestinian coalitions, unions, refugee groups, human rights, and social justice groups in the occupied territories, within Israel, and in exile, this call is truly representative of the support that the Palestinian people believe they must have to survive and achieve their rights.

    The US Campaign National Assembly of member groups voted to endorse the call at the 2005 National Organizers Conference. Academic & Cultural Boycott were endorsed in at the 2009 conference.

    Before and since the call, the US Campaign has endorsed multiple BDS campaigns targeting Caterpillar, Motorola, Veolia, Ahava Beauty Products, the We Divest Campaign (calling on financial giant TIAA-CREF to divest), and various faith-based and campus-based divestment initiatives.
