New flow battery could give an electric vehicle a 240 mile range
Electric vehicles are here to stay. They or better for the environment and health, cost less to maintain and operate, and meet or can exceed the performance and comfort of traditional vehicles.
With all these advantages, we are likely to see more more electric cars on the road. But The thing that would really spur faster adoption of electric vehicles would be the next improvement in energy storage technology. The reason is that better storage would give a greater vehicle range.
there is a great deal of research into new storage technologies including the possible use of fuel cells or improved batteries. with regard to new battery technology, check out GE’s flow battery under development which GE hopes would give an electric vehicle at 240 mile range.
