laptop Batteries: Li-ion battery hybrid motor car market prospects

Li-ion battery hybrid motor car market prospects

Japan Automobile Research Institute recently announced that Japan will take the lead in the popularity of hybrid vehicles in the lithium battery, which will enable Japan has led the world in countries in hybrid vehicle technology icing on the cake.

Li-ion battery than the current mainstream nickel metal hydride battery size and weight have reduced by about half, to improve the hybrid's fuel efficiency is important, has become the first choice for the next generation of hybrids. At present, around the production of lithium batteries, the world's car manufacturers and the electrical, electronics companies have developed in an increasingly competitive.

Japan's Hitachi said it would invest 20 billion to 30 billion yen by 2015, the current lithium-ion batteries for hybrid production capacity by about 70 times.

Allegedly, Hitachi will increase investment and expand its business by Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture is located in capacity, as soon as possible new high-capacity lithium battery production, the product will be mainly provided to the U.S. General Motors Corporation.

Earlier, Germany announced that from 2009 to launch a 360 million euros in the automotive lithium battery development program, almost all German cars, and energy giant, will carry information to join. The German government said the plan, marked Germany will enter the electric car era.

At the same time, Daimler and RWE energy company also announced that it will work together to build 500 electric car charging stations. German auto industry alliance is expected of Germany before 2012, commercial production of electric vehicles will be pulled off.

The main advantage of electric vehicles is both energy saving, but also produce a wide range of environmental effects. Studies have shown that the use of electric vehicles to pass one kilometer road, the cost of needed gasoline cheaper than 80-90%, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles is generally 70%.

Recently disclosed METI, Japan, in 2010 and strive for the next generation of the new lithium battery electric vehicles.

May 15 this year, Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. and other related businesses signed an agreement to jointly develop a unified specification of the new generation of automotive lithium batteries, and plans to mass production within 2 years. Toshiba decided to spend 500 billion yen to develop electric cars with lithium-ion batteries, which power will be two years into the efficient semi-commercial production is planned for 2011 will be increased for high-performance lithium-ion batteries with different characteristics three categories, namely, in addition to the current ordinary type, the respective development support will also be hybrid and electric vehicles high output and high energy density power type lithium ion battery type.

Popularity of electric vehicles is a key issue is the need to build enough power to add facilities. To this end, Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that it will take the lead in the infrastructure, first built in the metropolitan area next year, more than 200 charging stations, three years after the increase will go to more than 1000. Japan's major car companies have responded positively involved in the study and engineering, and eagerly look forward to "de-oil" era came to Japan as soon as possible. At present, the Tokyo Electric Power Company has successfully developed a large-scale rapid charger, every 10 minutes fully charged, can travel the distance is 60 kilometers, so charging time is shortened, and further accelerate the increasing use of electric vehicles in Japan the pace.

It is reported that the establishment of a charge for each facility cost 400 million yen. Tokyo Electric Power Company for supermarket parking lot in Japan, convenience stores and post offices and other public places charging facilities gradually building to facilitate people off shopping and errands can get the car added power.

According to Japan Automobile Research Institute predicted the popularity of hybrids according to the present projections, by 2020, hybrid car in Japan will reach about 360 million. High-performance lithium batteries have been promoted if the popularity of hybrid vehicles reached 7.2 million are likely to further levels.

Local media commented that if the Japanese lithium batteries in a new generation of vehicles to obtain ISO certification opportunities and be in charge, and the enterprises will benefit immensely.

International trade that the electric car market in the next decade to develop into what kind of scale, will depend on whether the cost of lithium batteries down quickly, but an indisputable fact is that the potential of this market will be huge enough to meet the needs of large-scale production.
