Nissan comment on the potential of Lithium Batteries
July 3, 2008 Posted by: Lee Sibbald
“We foresee lithium ion-battery as a durable power source with great potential. This would become a magnificent breakthrough for high performance environmental vehicles such as hybrid and electric vehicles. Along with talented young colleagues with innovative ideas and great enthusiasm, we work day and night, striving to achieve a breakthrough.”
“In 1990, a carmaker made an announcement about lithium-ion batteries. The next day we launched an investigation into the source of lithium-ion batteries. It took about six months for us to discover that these batteries have real high potential in terms of performance. Lithium-ion batteries have an incredible amount of energy, and at the time of our discovery, we thought that the power we could extract would be almost limitless. From this starting point, our research has resulted in us being able to draw a great amount of energy from lithium-ion batteries.”
