I read somewhere on this forum that there has been a Lithium Ion Sulphur battery ?? produced that will revolutionise the electric car industry.

Something about holding more than 4 times the charge of a standard Lithium Ion battery...per kilo of weight. I think that one of the companies was Sion.

Is this really true?

They were quoting huge mileages - 500 - 1,000 miles on one charge, and cheaper to produce than standard batteries and so on.

Obviously if this is true Hybrids will become a thing of the past very quickly. As I understand it a pure electric motor vehicle would be cheaper to build, less expensive to run, and not be dependent on fossil fuels.

Personally I would have rather purchased an all electric car, but they are hard to find and just don't have the range...in Australia anyway.


After having read so many threads on this forum you'll forgive me if I'm a little sceptical.

No doubt you will have the answer for me Bob!
