Is Your Home Equipped to Recharge Your Electric Vehicle? But what about your garage? Shouldn't you be able to charge up your Electric Vehicle at home? With the growth of both the battery-electric-vehicle (BEV) and the plug-in-hybrid-electric-vehicle (PHEV) markets, nationwide plans for an on-the-road electric vehicle infrastructure of charging stations are well on their way.

Written by J. D. Johnston
 Electric cars (EVs) are offering a potential way forward for American's and the auto industry-one that might bring cheaper motoring and a cleaner environment for all. But for those goals to succeed there are certain obstacles that must be overcome, and one of the major sets of concerns currently revolves around the EV's source of power-the ground-breaking lithium-ion EV battery.

 Lithium Ion Car Batteries – Are Lithium Ion Batteries the Wave of the Future? Because cars are attributed to causing tons of air pollution, car manufacturers and scientists have been developing alternative fuel sources. One of the leading alternative fuel sources available is electricity. Although lead acid batteries and nickel metal hydride (NiHM) batteries have been used to power electric vehicles, manufacturers are beginning to use lithium ion car batteries instead.

 Better Lithium-ion-Batteries - With car makers, like Nissan, debuting new all-electric vehicles, manufacturers are looking to address what's called "range anxiety," fear that electric vehicles won't have enough power to reach the driver's destination. Now there's more than $115 million in government grants to add thousands more roadside chargers to the few hundred public ones available now. The lithium was recently discovered in Afghanistan.

 Imagine taking your EV to a charging station and recharging the battery in as much time as it takes to top off the tank of a regular gas vehicle. That kind of efficiency is now almost in reach with the 3-D Li-ion battery, which is capable of recharging fully in only a few minutes. It also has a lifespan of almost twice that of a regular lithium ion battery. With that kind of potential, the Li-ion battery may be the perfect electric car battery.
