Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

A study by a team of researchers from Germany and South Africa forsees the gradual replacement of lead-acid SLI (starter, lighting and ignition) batteries with Li-ion batteries over the next couple of years. —Ferg et al. Schuldt, J. 2019.03.063.

Pike forecasts NEV market to remain small, although with double the growth rate of light-duty vehicles to 2017

Green Car Congress

While moderate in terms of volume, the growth rate for NEVs will double that of the light-duty vehicle market during the same period, Pike notes. In Europe, NEVs are categorized as a quadricycle, but are limited to a 4 kW motor for light NEVs or 15 kW for heavier quadricycles. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%

The promise of wireless charging: smaller batteries, longer battery life, fewer charging stations

Charged EVs

I could drive a Class 8 truck over a light-duty charger, and it will activate one pad of that truck and still charge. Overnight or deep-cycle discharge damages batteries, and high C rates degrade batteries because of the temperature created. times more life expectancy for a battery versus a deep-cycle charging approach.
