Tesla Motors’ hybrid battery pack for ultra-long-range electric vehicles

September 21, 2013 March 31, 2015

Tesla Motors recently filed for a patent on a hybrid battery pack design that enables joining metal-air and lithium-ion battery cells into one battery pack, to implement a much larger total energy capacity and therefore a longer driving range.  The idea is “just” a patent at this moment, and metal-air…

Toyota research into lithium-air and solid-state for next generation electric vehicle batteries

March 14, 2013 March 31, 2015

Toyota has long clung to the Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) batteries, claiming that lithium-ion batteries are too expensive.  While that might be the case, there are dozens of research projects going on that aims to increase energy density, increase power density, and reduce the cost of batteries.  What it means is that…

Sodium-air battery research shows promise compared to Lithium-air research

January 3, 2013 March 31, 2015

Lithium-air batteries have been one of the supposed saviors of electric vehicles, with ultra-high energy density.  Some researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at Justus-Liebig-University Gießen in Gießen, Germany have developed Sodium-air battery technology they say is far better than Lithium-air.  The key flaw of Lithium-air batteries is, according to…
