This is a great article with new information on Altairnano’s NanoSafe batteries that power the Phoenix Motorcars SUVs that go on sale in 2008. I cannot stress my excitement about viable EV technology.
Lithium-Ion gets an upgrade. Electric vehicles are quickly becoming more accessible and affordable. Altair Technologies is a developer of nanomaterials for alternative energy and has developed a nano titanate battery system called “nanotitanate” which overcomes many disadvantages to the conventional lithium-ion batteries in ways of efficiency, battery life, charge time, and safety.

I’m sure I’ll be posting quite a bit on efficient vehicles. Perhaps it is the PR of Tesla Motors, but this electric car is capturing more attention than its predecessors. I’m looking forward to a serious price cut like many others. Martin Eberhard, CEO at Tesla Motors said in September or ‘06 that the next phase will be a Sedan with a cost of around $45k and even lower for future models. This clip was done by PCMAG.com’s writer Cade Metz, and I must admit that looks like a blast!
