Actually “Wh/kg” is specific “ENERGY”

I stand corrected LabRat.
Thanks.

Article: “Remember that energy density has to do with how much energy (usually expressed in watt-hours/kilogram) the lithium ion battery can hold.”

Sorry about being critical.
Energy Density is Wh/volume, not Wh/kg which is “Specific Power”

Article: “More energy dense batteries allow for longer driving ranges while at the same time adding less weight to the vehicle.”

More energy dense allows a smaller battery pack- still important if we want to put huge packs in pass cars.

Love the site!

james, #37:

Amen.

I really have hopes that a lot of us have figured out the game. Next time they bump the price down to wake up the truck/SUV market, I’m not going for it. Get a Volt and get ready for when it inevitably turns back up.

noel p. yeah, 3 bucks and everyone’s screaming “cheap gas”, lol. but, what the heck, like i said, if opec keeps it there, the greens will overtake oil. so let’s hope that opec hangs in there (at $3 at the pump for another year or two) just to make certain that greens get off the ground…

24 pstoller, yes, salt batteries, very exciting stuff! http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/447556/general_electric_ge_releases_the_cleanest.html

31 harvest i will ad ‘em…(GE, Bell Labs Innovations, and a little company called Google).

Isn’t this what GM wants? A lil’ battery competition? Nothing like it to spur innovation and get the ball rolling.

I believe that A123 will have an answer, then CPI and so on….

I would be interested in reading that article if possible.
