How to make Lithium Polymer Batteries for Electric Car

Really easy, isn’t it? At least much more than manufacturing with sulfuric acid, or to make the chips from any mobile phone. Notice that Li-Po Batteries were designed to be cheaper and lighter that Li-Ion, now, Why can’t I drive an EV with them? (These are Lithium-Metal Polymer batteries, not Li-Ion)

Lithium Ion Batteries For Electric Vehicles To Approach $8 Billion In Sales By 2015

As the global market for electric vehicles grows rapidly over the next several years, lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries in a variety of chemistries will be the technology of choice for auto manufacturers.

As the global market for electric cars grows rapidly over the next several years, lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries in a variety of chemistries will be the technology of choice for auto manufacturers.

The opportunity for Li-ion laptop batteries will be primarily driven by plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles, which require much larger battery packs than conventional hybrids. According to a report from Pike Research, this market growth will create a Li-ion transportation battery industry with nearly $8 billion in sales worldwide by 2015, up from $878 million in 2010.

In the near term, the Li-ion market, and the electric vehicle (EV) industry in general, will be largely fueled by government subsidies, incentives, and production goals. “2012 will be the make or break year for the electric car market,” says senior analyst John Gartner.

“As government support for the sector winds down, demand from consumers and businesses will need to pick up the slack, or the industry faces the risk of oversupply.”

Gartner anticipates that prices for Li-ion batteries will be a key determinant in the ultimate market acceptance of Electric Vehicles, since battery cost will represent much of the price premium for electric vehicles. He forecasts that Li-ion prices will improve significantly over the next few years, falling 50% from $940 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in 2010 to $470 per kWh in 2015.

Pike Research’s report, “Electric Vehicle Batteries”, examines the key market dynamics for Lithium Ion batteries in plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Analysis includes industry and government drivers for the electrification of vehicles, and the role of advanced battery technologies in the development of this new sector.

Pike Research is a market research and consulting firm that provides in-depth analysis of global clean technology markets. The company’s research methodology combines supply-side industry analysis, end-user primary research and demand assessment, and deep examination of technology trends to provide a comprehensive view of the Smart Energy, Clean Transportation, Clean Industry, Corporate Sustainability, and Building Efficiency sectors.

Nissan Motor Plans To Lease Electric Vehicles Batteries

Nissan Motor Co., seeking to lead the emerging market for electric cars, said it expects most customers will lease rather than buy lithium ion batteries packs for the electric vehicles.

Nissan to sell electric car for less than $44,300. Nissan’s Leaf will be cheaper than Mitsubishi Motor Corp.’s (7211.TO) i-MiEV electric model, which is priced at around Y4.6 million.

Leases will account for the vast majority of lithium ion batteries for electric cars such as Nissan’s Leaf, Jonathan Dixon, the Yokohama, Japan-based company’s business-development manager, said in an interview.

Nissan, Japan’s third-largest automaker, plans to deliver the first electric car Leaf hatchbacks late this year.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most expensive component of electric cars, at about $1,000 a kilowatt hour, and most such electric vehicles will have capacity of about 20 kilowatt hours, according to General Motors Co. vice chairman Robert Lutz. Leasing will let customers avoid the batteries depreciating value and disposal or resale, Dixon said.

Carmakers including Nissan, GM and Toyota Motor Corp. are preparing electric cars in response to higher oil prices, government rules on auto emissions and concerns that such emissions contribute to climate change.

Nissan’s North American unit decided against battery-pack leases for the Leaf in the United States. “The battery and electric car will be transacted together,” said Katherine Zachary, a spokeswoman for Nissan North America in Franklin, Tennessee.

“If customers lease the electric car, they’ll have only one monthly payment, and if they buy it, they’ll only have one payment. We do expect more people to lease than buy.”

Leaf production starts this year in Japan. Nissan promises that the lithium-ion battery model will be able to go 160 kilometers on a full charge.

Nissan Motor Co. is set to release its new Leaf electric vehicle (EV) later this year, with a price tag of less than 4 million yen, it has emerged.

The Nissan Leaf, a rechargeable compact car, will go on sale in Japan, North America and Europe this autumn. The automaker has decided to set the sales price of its new model for the Japanese market below 4 million yen, a price well under that of Mitsubishi Motors Corp.’s i-MiEV electric car (4.599 million yen).

With the government subsidy for electric vehicles, Nissan expects the actual cost borne by customers could be further reduced to less than 3 million yen.

Powered by a thin lithium-ion battery developed in collaboration with NEC Corp., the five-seat EV can travel over 160 kilometers on a single charge.

A full charge can be achieved in about eight hours using a 200-volt domestic outlet, and with dedicated quick-chargers to be installed at gas stations, batteries can be charged to 80 percent of capacity in about 30 minutes.

The automaker plans to produce 50,000 units in Japan in 2010 and 150,000 units in the U.S. by late 2012, the most ambitious production target of EVs among major car manufactures worldwide.

In order to achieve this, it is essential to introduce the products at a reasonable price, says Nissan President Carlos Ghosn, prompting the company to take the lead in pushing down the price of its new model far below those of the rival i-MiEV and Subaru Plug-in Stella (4.725 million yen).

As part of its efforts to promote the widespread use of electric cars in the country, the Japanese government has drastically increased the funds for its subsidy program for EV purchases from 2.6 billion yen in fiscal 2009 to 12.4 billion yen in the fiscal 2010 budget bill.

With a public subsidy equivalent to that for the Mitsubishi i-MiEV for fiscal 2009 (1.39 million yen), the Nissan Leaf will in effect cost less than 3 million yen for its prospective owners.

As Mitsubishi Motors has also revealed its price reduction strategy to make its i-MiEV electric vehicle available for less than 2 million yen by fiscal 2014, price competition in the EV market will undoubtedly accelerate.

Nissan says it has more than 56,000 pre-orders for the Leaf, its fully-electric car set to be released to the mass market in 2012. Just last November, the Nissan-led Electrification Coalition lobbied the U.S. government to fund electric vehicle projects.

CEO Carlos Ghosn plans to sell the Leaf to fleet first to operators like taxi companies and governments as well. By 2013, Nissan will build a half million Leaf vehicles globally.

Nissan also plans to have it’s EV on the market two years before Tesla brings its more affordable Model S to market. The Leaf will cost around $25,000, while the Model S will be priced over $50,000.

Better Batteries for Electric Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles are now either being developed or already in the lineup of several car manufacturers. This revolution is brought to American shores by Japanese car manufacturers like Toyota and Honda. The Toyota Prius has become a favorite for the American buyers who are concerned with the conservation of the environment as well as the ever increasing prices of gasoline.

The success of Japanese car manufacturers has challenged different car manufacturers to develop their own hybrid-electric vehicles – or in the case of Volvo, a vehicle that runs on an alternative fuel. Different designs and concepts have surfaced in the race to produce energy efficient vehicles. These include plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles, and electric vehicles.

The past two years has seen the development of vehicles that not only depends on its engine for power but also on electric motors. What an electric motor needs do is to provide power for the car in a long span of time. It should be a good power storage box or a battery.

This is where Lithium Technology Corporation steps in. The company provides rechargeable batteries for any conceivable use. And the company is moving forward to help the automotive industry in providing quality batteries that can be used on electric cars whether to a fully electric vehicle or a hybrid-electric vehicle. The batteries being offered by the company are lithium ion ones which stores the same amount of energy to that of a metal-hydride battery but weigh less.

The company has shown what their batteries can do by teaming up with Innosys Engineering to convert a mass produced car with a gasoline engine to an electric car. The team started out with a four-seater Daihatsu Cuore and converted it to be run from the power stored by lithium-ion batteries and a three-phase asynchronous electric motor. The battery used to power the vehicle has a capacity of 250 kWh and can power the car to a range of approximately 180-200 kilometers depending on driving conditions. The car can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometer per hour. The performance of the converted electric car is at par to that of the previously announced Chevrolet Volt from General Motors that will be produced and sold to the public by 2010.

The availability of such technology is a great boost to the efforts of car manufacturers to produce cars that will be less dependent on fossil fuels. The only problem being encountered is the cost of production of such batteries and the convenience for the drivers especially the concern about recharging the battery. But with collaborations on the part of Lithium Technology Corporation and the car industry could mean a development of ways to bring down the cost of production of such components. Partnerships between car manufacturers and the global provider of large format rechargeable power solutions could mean that, in the near future, majority of the cars in our roads will be energy efficient and produce less or no emissions at all.

The batteries being produced by Lithium Technology Corporation can be recharged by an engine as in the case of hybrid-electric vehicles. They can also be charged via a standard AC electrical socket for plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles. The company has developed a range of high quality batteries like the brake components that can be found at Active Brakes Direct. These batteries are produced with electronic controls or battery management systems that harnesses the battery’s full potential.

Aside from batteries that can be used by electric cars, the Lithium Technology Corporation also produces batteries for other technological gizmos like laptop computers and the likes.
