LG Chem’s battery cells can now be found in vehicles from Audi, Chevrolet (most notably the Volt), Ford, Hyundai, Renault, Smart, Volkswagen, Volvo, and others. Both AESC and Panasonic have produced a higher total energy capacity for electric-car batteries than has LG Chem, thus far. According to General Motors, the LG battery cell is responsible for the huge Bolt recall.
Lincvolt is repowering to become fully electric, with a 250 + mile range, eliminate the Lincvolt generator, a Ford escape E85 fueled motor which for 85,000 miles charged the batteries as Lincvolt ran down the road, weighing 6200 LBS.
Now the opportunity is presented to utilize a new kind of battery, one that does not have the common problems associated with electric cars. Lincvolt, an early electric car, now refitted with breakthrough concepts in battery technology – that is our goal. Travel with us as we continue our journey. We will keep you posted here over the months.
