Default Re: To EV or not to EV that is the question

GPSMAN1: Hmmm... So, if Li-ion has more power, but a long recharge cycle, and NiMH has less power, but a faster recharge rate, then I wonder if there might be a way to optimize the efficiency of a hybrid by implementing a certain amount of *both* kinds of batteries.

Also, do you know how well (if at all) the Lithiun Polymer batteries might function in the context of EV and hybrid applications?

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
