Lithium Battery power Delivers Electric Vehicles to Market
As increased energy efficiency, and particularly fuel Hybrid Technologies Inc., a manufacturer and efficiency, becomes a greater concern, hybrid and marketer of lithium-ion battery-EVs, based in Las Vegas, electric vehicles gain greater prominence in the Nevada, and with research and manufacturing facilities market. Electric vehicles (EVs), in particular, provide an in Mooresville, North Carolina, entered into a Space Act attractive option as they produce no emissions during Agreement with Kennedy Space Center to determine operation, isolating any potential emissions and effluents the utility of lithium-powered fleet vehicles. Under this in the manufacturing and energy-generation streams. agreement, the company supplied a fleet of cars for the The necessary energy stores to support a shift to EVs engineers at Kennedy to test. In return for the engineering already exist, as utilities constructed to address peak expertise supplied by the NASA employees, the Center was demands have off-peak surpluses sufficient to charge given the opportunity to use the zero-emission vehicles about 180 million plug-in hybrid or all-electric cars. for transportation around the Kennedy campus. NASA According to a report from the U.S. Department of contributed engineering expertise for the cars’ advanced Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, there is battery management system, and vehicles selected enough excess generating capacity during the night and for use in the Kennedy fleet included the Hybrid PT morning to allow more than 80 percent of today’s vehi- Cruiser, lithium smart fortwo, and a high-performance cles to make the average daily commute solely using this electricity.

Charge time is 6-8 hours with either act as a safety net for the power grid, supplying backup electric and hybrid vehicles. In addition, a study by the 110-120 V or 220-240V, and the lithium-ion battery power in an outage, with the vehicle owners credited for U.S. Department of Transportation has indicated that pack has a cycle life of more than 1,500 charges.

This smoothing of excess and plug-in cars capable of 50 miles per day would meet the In addition to the vehicles supplied to NASA, the deficiency in the power grid would also help stabilize needs of 80 percent of the American driving public, the company provided a fleet of lithium-ion battery-powered intermittent sources of energy such as wind power and vehicles for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection NASA has taken a keen interest in battery-powered Historically, the primary obstacles to the widespread vehicles, and is encouraging their continued development. application of EVs were lack of infrastructure The “NASA Official Fleet Management Handbook,” development and a lack of sufficiently robust battery regarding the use of alternative fueled vehicles, states: Hybrid Technologies deployed the first all-electric taxi technologies to consistently power vehicles for an “Ideally, all Centers should have on-site alternative in New York City and has begun demonstrating smart extended duration and at performance levels suitable to fuel facilities . . . .

Most recently, displays its NASA heritage and boasts a range of 120 miles at Hybrid Technologies has produced an EV version of the popular MINI Cooper, which debuted in the December 2007 Sam’s Club catalog. The EV MINI Cooper proudly displays its NASA heritage, sharing the STS-128 designa-tion with an upcoming Space Shuttle Endeavor mission. It boasts a range of 120 miles at 75 miles per hour, and is driven by a 40kW electric motor and powered by a 30kWh battery pack. The appeal of the electric MINI is strong and widespread, and Hybrid Technologies conver-sions have already attracted celebrity fans.
Also available from Sam’s Club, the 2007 Hybrid Technologies lithium-powered smart fortwo EV (also available as a limited edition STS-118 smart fortwo) has an estimated range of 150 miles, a top speed over 70 mph, and takes only 4 hours to charge at 220 volts. There are two electric motors that can be used in the vehicle, one from Ballard and one from Siemens VDO. The lithium polymer battery pack comes from Kokam America Inc., and the battery management system is Hybrid Technologies’ own. As an introductory offer, conversions, Hybrid Technologies offers PT Cruiser and Sam’s Club included a behind-the-scenes trip to Kennedy and attendance at a space shuttle launch, with purchase Even more impressive than its line of conversions, of one of the EVs.
