Battery Technology

New Car Battery

The Chevy Volt will apparently run for only about thirty minutes on battery power.  About 40 miles they say.  The EV1 used to get four times that run on straight battery power.  Why General Motors destroyed the EV1 still has people guessing.  The film, Who Killed the Electric Car, helps you to understand.

On the technology of lead acid batteries China offers many electric cars including a five passenger sedan that travels 500k on one charge with a top speed of 120k.  The Tesla, with its sandwich of five thousand mobile phone batteries is much faster, lighter and can attain a similar or better performance.

The electric car is a bit stalled due to current battery technology.  You read about all these wonder batteries but where are they.  It would seem that our electric car industry needs those new batteries in a big way.  Not on the market yet, the future line of batteries look like they’ll be most helpful in promoting electric cars.  This article gives you a hint of the direction of battery technology.  better battery

New battery technology is destined to catch up with the electric car.  It’s obviously the near future of transport and of course, power.  Beyond that is the Watson Magnet Motor which will keep the battery charged on the go thus never requiring an overnight plugin.  This is where the battery does the work and the magnet motor works to keep the battery charged up.  When this most beautiful synergy is in place we will breathe easier because by then, trains (we already have maglev), boats, planes and cars will have found a way to generate power that doesn’t involve combustion.  We should have been onto this a hundred years ago but back then, who knew that combustion would lead us to our current situation.

Later when the Unity system of gravity control is launched we’ll still need a good battery.  And with the leaps and bounds of new battery technology, by then that battery should be pretty good.
