Israel's Phinergy Develops EV Battery That Runs for 1000 Miles - Shalom Life
Imagine making a 19-hour, 1,800-kilometre drive in an electric car without having to stop for a recharge. That's theoretically possible with a special kind of battery being demonstrated this week in Montreal by Israel-based Phinergy and Alcoa Canada.
The battery, demonstrated this week in Montreal by Israel-based Phinergy and Alcoa Canada, consists of panels made mostly of aluminum. (Alcoa) The partners have refurbished an "ordinary car" to use a special "aluminum-air" battery.
The battery can extend the range of an electric car by 1,600 kilometres when used in conjunction with the vehicle's regular lithium-ion battery.
"We hope that this will increase the penetration of electric cars with zero emissions," said Aviv Tzidon, CEO of Phinergy, in an interview with CBC Montreal's Homerun earlier this week, adding that it should put an end to "range anxiety."

Design and analysis of aluminum/air battery system for electric vehicles
Abstract
Aluminum (Al)/air batteries have the potential to be used to
produce power to operate cars and other vehicles. These batteries might be important
on a long-term interim basis as the world passes through the transition from
gasoline cars to hydrogen fuel cell cars. The Al/air battery system can
generate enough energy and power for driving ranges and acceleration similar to
gasoline powered cars. From our design analysis, it can be seen that the cost
of aluminum as an anode can be as low as US$ 1.1/kg as long as the reaction
product is recycled. The total fuel efficiency during the cycle process in
Al/air electric vehicles (EVs) can be 15% (present stage) or 20% (projected) comparable
to that of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEs) (13%). The design battery
energy density is 1300 Wh/kg (present) or 2000 Wh/kg (projected). The cost of
battery system chosen to evaluate is US$ 30/kW (present) or US$ 29/kW
(projected). Al/air EVs life-cycle analysis was conducted and compared to
lead/acid and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) EVs. Only the Al/air EVs can be projected
to have a travel range comparable to ICEs. From this analysis, Al/air EVs are
the most promising candidates compared to ICEs in terms of travel range,
purchase price, fuel cost, and life-cycle cost. # 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
