Some Good News for the Future of Global Warming debate

New batteries in singapore can be charged in 2 minutes and last up to 20 years. Now if we can get fusion up and going along with a grid capable of supporting the increased demand electric cars might have a shot in 20 years.

ientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) have developed a new battery that can be recharged up to 70 per cent in only 2 minutes. The battery will also have a longer lifespan of over 20 years.
Expected to be the next big thing in battery technology, this breakthrough has a wide-ranging impact on many industries, especially for electric vehicles which are currently inhibited by long recharge times of over 4 hours and the limited lifespan of batteries.
This next generation of lithium-ion batteries will enable electric vehicles to charge 20 times faster than the current technology. With it, electric vehicles will also be able to do away with frequent battery replacements. The new battery will be able to endure more than 10,000 charging cycles -- 20 times more than the current 500 cycles of today's batteries.

Amazing news if this works out.

But how long will charge last with "normal" operation?
If it charges in 2 minutes, but requires charging every 30 miles, that's not all that great.

However, Prof Chen's new cross-linked titanium dioxide nanotube-based electrodes eliminate the need for these additives and can pack more energy into the same amount of space.
"Manufacturing this new nanotube gel is very easy," Prof Chen added. "Titanium dioxide and sodium hydroxide are mixed together and stirred under a certain temperature. Battery manufacturers will find it easy to integrate our new gel into their current production processes."

It really is IF(and thats a big if) it works out. These new batteries are cheaper and easier to produce and last alot longer.

well I am just spitballing here, but the article says they have the ability to pack the same amount of energy into the same space. So I would imagine they have the same range as the current plug in hybrids just they would be cheaper and alot easier to recharge.

That is a logical assumption, but it could also have a faster discharge rate.

completely logical too, but this is still a big break through.

Agreed. Until the battery issue is solved no method of electricity production will provide the great leap forward.

If you want to know about batteries, you go to the experts. RCGROUPS.com 
About 2-3 times a year, there is a huge "breakthrough" in battery technology. This has been going on for at least the last 7-8 years I have been flying electric models. It never pans out but maybe this time will be different.

I'm with you. Just like the Fusion breakthroughs.

I was using it a time frame for reference. I am sure that Toyota, Ford, etc will start incorporating these batteries into cars regardless of fusion's status

I'm with you, brah - we should be working on the newer, cleaner, better fission while we perfect fusion.
The country that harnassed the atom, should be the undisputed leader in nuclear energy - the Greenies demonizing nuclear, particularly after the 3-Mile Island incident, and, later Chernobyl, are to be blamed for shameless opportunism.

Get out of my head man!

I don't think that's necessarily "logical" when looked at from a measurement standpoint. If it holds "X" amount of energy and the device uses "X" amount of energy to operate, why would you assume the discharge of the same amount of energy would be greater just because it charges faster? Where would the quicker discharged energy go?
Admittedly I have no deep education on battery discharge other than knowing the efficiency is usually on the device, not the battery so much.
