Tech: How do Hybrid & Plug-in Hybrid Batteries Recharge? Do I Need to Plug a Hybrid In?

Clean Fleet Report

Regular Hybrids Regular hybrids recharge their onboard nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion battery packs by reclaiming energy through a process called regenerative braking. This is accomplished by using a much larger, more powerful lithium-ion battery pack. first appeared on Clean Fleet Report.

Consumers Think Renewable Energy Inadequate for EV Charging

Clean Fleet Report

That certainly poses a challenge for recharging EVs with clean energy, but these predictions are from consumers, not industry experts. Improvements in lithium-ion battery production provide maximum battery uptime as new technologies extend their range and charging times. and electricity demands are rising quickly.

Ohio State researchers use neutron depth profiling to track flow of Li atoms into and out of anode in real time

Green Car Congress

The study, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition , suggests that neutron depth profiling (NDP) could one day help explain why rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time, or sometimes even catch fire. They may also be less prone to overheating. Key to the experiment, said L.

Alstom unveils hydrogen fuel cell regional train Coradia iLint

Green Car Congress

The fuel cell provides electrical energy by combining the hydrogen stored in tanks on-board with oxygen from ambient air. During phases of lower acceleration or coasting a part of the fuel cell power will be used to recharge the battery next to its power supply to the onboard systems via the auxiliary converter.
