Lithium Ion Powered Car Has Range of 230 Miles

Electova, Mississauga Ontario, Canada, producer of lithium ion batteries and mobile products using their batteries, has introduced a zero pollution electric vehicle that sets new standards in range. The car was launched in Norway by Miljobil Grenland AS at the "China, Environment and Energy Conference".   Miljobil has a memorandum of understanding and initial purchase order with Electova to market the Maya100 and promote the business of zero-emission electric vehicle technologies in Norway and neighboring countries.  Green Car Congress reports that the car launched is not the Maya100, but a new prototype.  None the less, the car must be derived from the Maya100 which is described on Electrova's website as follows:

Electrovaya’s Breakthrough Zero-Emission Transportation

• Powered by the award-winning lithium ion SuperPolymer® battery
• Up to 230 mile / 360 km range
• Lightweight, with excellent handling and acceleration
• Proprietary lithium battery,-five times the energy density of lead acid batteries at less than one-third of the weight.
• Unique battery design allows for hill climbing, and cold weather operation.
• Top speed (regulated) of 140 kph / 80 mph
• The pure battery ZEV features very low maintenance costs and operating costs at less than a cent per kilometer.

An earlier post in Green Car Congress gives more details on the Maya100 and its battery system.

Zero pollution? Doesn't the electricity that charges those wonderful lithium ion batteries (and they do sound wonderful) have to come from somewhere?

There may be no pollution from the car, but that doesn't mean "no pollution" unless you charge the batteries with solar cells, wind, falling water, or have gotten a fusion reactor to work.

It's the same with all fuel sort. You have to use energy to create that fuel. That energy costs CO2.
The good thing with electricity is that it is flexible and it's easy to change to a more clean power plant.

how could we better utilize the 100.00 tax credit. Instead of just buying us a one week fix

Woohoo looks like my estimates on the A 123 battery must be close or at least this good.

http://amazngdrx.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2006/4/13/1884417.html

I guessed 70 pounds per gallon of gas equivalent. This one is about 75. And I guessed 250 wh per kg, this battery is 225wh per kg.

The 6 to 8 hour charge time and 2004 build time frame makes me think that the nano tech batteries maybe even better, as they have the 5 minute charge to 90% they may have even higher energy density than the batteries in this project.

But the basic weight to power ratio and range design factors hold. making the design a practical alternative to liquid fuel. That is with the quick charge A 123 or Hitachi nano-phospgate lithoium ion.

At 70k and 300 bucks per kwh this system is expensive, but mass production could bring that down. That means the battery is 12k alone.

But a 25k total price with a 20% profit margin might still be possible,given mass production, that's reasonable. Typically components like these batteries come down in price rapidly with mass production and continuing research, just as microchips did and now PV cells are dropping in price.

How many hours do you spend in your kitchen? Sometimes, cooking can be as unpleasant as cleaning, especially if you forget your meal and when taking it out of your oven it looks like something, which you cannot even describe with words. Well, such things happen, once in a while, and you cannot do anything else, but to accept them and try to avoid doing the same mistakes, the next time when you are in the kitchen.
