Next-Generation EV Batteries Zap Range Anxiety
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 окт 2011
- Range anxiety, or concerns about how far electric vehicles will travel on a single charge, is one of the biggest limitations on the EV industry. In fact, a recent survey said only 20 percent of American drivers would consider buying an EV with a 100-mile range. But what if EVs could drive 500 miles on a single charge?
Correspondent Josh Zepps looks under the hood of a next generation battery design that uses nanotechnology to make EVs more powerful than ever.

Don't forget about the 48v and 36v electric bike battery packs with high power and high amp hours. E-bikes are becoming very popular. Currently, we e-bike riders have to ship battery packs all the way from China or Japan. Shipping is so expensive ($140+) for a battery pack. We need an e-bike battery company in the USA to bring the cost down and reduce the carbon footprint of shipping. Tesla is doing it, they are building a battery plant in the USA. Let's give the foreign Lithium battery manufacturers a run for their money with high quality American made battery packs and build solar charging stations at bike racks like they are doing in Japan.
There is no Range Anxiety. It's Charge Anxiety.
US Americans are the largest consumers in the world per capita, they even beat China. Needless to say more efforts are needed to go green. That includes not only EVs, but also advanced battery technology, fusion research and most importantly government's will to cut consumption or find alternative to fossil fuels.
Good to see IBM doing something but I hope it is not 25 or 50 years away, we need it now!
3 Years later: Nothing!
+Alessia “jiggajaw” Aikley It's clearly stated in the video at 6:00 "IBM hopes to start commercial production of the long-range battery by 2020". ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A FUCKING DAY. It takes at least a decade for new battery tech to filter down to the consumer level!
"As usual. Big hype, lots of work being done... and no final product." --- Spoken like a true "instant gratification" moron with absolutely no concept as to how long these things take.
+dashercronin See my reply to Alessia. IBM won't be manufacturing this battery until 2020, as the video clearly stated if you'd cared to fucking pay attention before commenting. Making a battery for cars is not easy. It's a slow process fraught with safety protocols and economies of scale.
+Will Davis Have you been to rome lately?

5 yr. later, still nothing.
6 years later. same ole...
They had electric cars back in 1910 there's no reason why we shouldn't have a500 or mile single charge vehicle after 107 years! Except it was more profitable for those in power.
Recharge times don't really matter all that much, the fact this is an issue or is even brought up is just people being conditioned of how we drive and Re-fuel (IE recharge) now.
How it is with EV's is, once you get home you plug it in, Its not doing anything, and your not going anywhere anytime soon.
As you just go back from doing whatever was you left to do. (work, store, movie Ect.)
An ICE car is doing nothing just sitting parked in your driveway, but an EV can be charging.
In reality having to charge on the road in an EV would only happen during LONG trips. And even then you can just hit a public super charger. Tesla's not the only one that has them anymore.
And during that time of recharging you could get something to eat as your doing a long road trip so your bound to get hungry.
YOU'RE
In order to get the electric car to have the same range as ICE cars we have to renew research into wireless electricity.
IBM did not invent computers, or the first PC's...
if you want to see a high range electric car battery...watch the movie,"who killed the electric car"
I love this technology so much that i invested in the company

G'day, thanks... ANY conventional ICE Vehicle, with a Pb/H2SO4 Battery, unless it has a Solar Charger retrofitted, is currently wasting between 10% & 60% of it's actual fuelburn, due to Short Engine Runtimes failing to finish recharging the Battery. Electric Vehicles generally run on Coal, or Uranium, both FILTHY ways to make Electricity. A SunFoil retrofit goes further on a pound of Petrol than an EV goes on a pound of Coal... Ciao !
I'd buy a EV if it could charge in 5 minutes.
73 miles is still pretty shit range
I hope the oil industry doesn't get it's filthy hands on the patents for these new batteries or else battery technology will have to wait another 10-20 years for the next big upgrade.
