Lithium Phosphate For Hybrid And Electric Cars
It seems that the world is finally turning onto the concept of hybrid and electric vehicles. It is anticipated that 2010 will see the emergence of electrically propelled cars. One of the biggest inhibitors to EVs has been the battery. Limitations on performance, size, weight, safety and cost have led car manufacturers to explore various chemistries and technologies.
Lithium-ion now looks to be the premier battery solution for most car manufacturers. However safety has always been an issue and it is becoming clear that OEMs will not commit to Lithium unless the safety element has been thoroughly verified.
Valence’s Lithium Phosphate Energy storage solutions have a proven safety record. With thousands of large format modules in the field since 2006 our safety record speaks for itself.
Valence is working with several OEMs in the automotive industry. We are the only major lithium phosphate powder and cell manufacturer that is commercially delivering product in volume right now.
