But because
lithium is the lightest metal,
lithium - based batteries can store more energy at a given
weight than any other variety.
The findings, published June 17 in Nature Communications, could help remove a major barrier to developing
lithium - sulfur and
lithium - air batteries, promising future technologies that could store up to 10 times more energy per
weight than batteries now used in consumer electronics and electric cars.
Moreover, the new material offers at least an order of magnitude more energy
than lithium batteries of the same
weight.
Mercedes says that the latest generation S63 saves more
than 100 kg of
weight over the previous model, thanks to lightweight forged AMG alloy wheels, lightweight
lithium - ion battery (following on from the SLS Black series) as well as the # 7090 optional carbon - ceramic brake package.
It is lighter
than the aforementioned models thanks to a steel - aluminium hybrid body, a light
weight braking system, a
lithium - ion battery and signature lightweight AMG wheels.
The new Fusion Hybrid features all - new
lithium - ion batteries that save
weight and generate more power
than previous NiMH batteries, while raising maximum speed under electric - only power from 47 mph to 62 mph (from 76 to 100 km / h).
The total
weight of the electrical components in the experimental vehicle was 215 kg, from which the
Lithium - Ion contributed with around 130 kg, considerably less
than a conventional Nickel - metal Hybrid battery of similar storage, which would have
weighted between 180 and 200 kilograms.
There are more 10 - mile trips
than 35 - mile trips, so why lug around the
weight and cost of twice as many
lithium - ion batteries?

Showing that
weight and aerodynamics matter, the Jeep EV has a 27 kWh
lithium - ion battery pack - more
than the Dodge EV - but its all electric range is only 40 miles.
