Now it is obviously.  A very good team of researchers from KTH Royal Swedish Institute of Technology and Stanford University made this come true. They used nanocellulose broken down from tree fibre to produce a kind of elastic foam designed to […]

Now with the fast charging, a tremendous difference appeared. The Chevy spark is offering a fast charging option that will charge the vehicle in only 20 minutes. This mean it is more feasible to recharge each electric vehicle when is almost out of range. […]

Designed in the early 1900s to power electric vehicles, the Edison battery largely went out of favor in the mid-1970s. Today only a handful of companies manufacture nickel-iron batteries, primarily to store […]
