Separating the Vaporous from the Real in Electric Cars
Abstract:
Based on the Korean pickup truck, the Ssangyong Actyon, the Phoenix purportedly uses nanotechnology in its lithium-ion batteries. Unimaginably small lithium-titanate particles allow for faster recharging, safer operation and longer life. Using a special high-voltage charger, Phoenix claims the truck could store enough juice in 10 minutes to cover 100 miles. (A full charge would take six or seven hours from household current.) Believe it when you see it.
