What can nanotechnology do for your batteries?

With Altairnano’s innovative technology, the possibilities have never been greater. Think about an innovative rechargeable battery designed to meet the challenges of ordinary rechargeable batteries. Those challenges include a long recharge time, short cycle life, poor operational safety and no tolerance for extreme temperatures. If you had a battery that could meet those challenges, you could move into new applications and new markets.

Quoted: The Lightning car company is proud to release one of the UK's first electric sports cars for 2008.
Combining classic, British sports car design with racing car technology and state of the art NanoSafe™ battery power and Hi-Pa Drive™ electric motor innovation, the Lightning has been developed with exhilarating performance front of mind. Whilst its head-turning looks will appeal to the most discerning of drivers, unlike other sports cars, the Lightning is also easy on the conscience. With virtually no polluting emissions, this energy-efficient car uses clean technology and will have the ultimate green rating. Following production of several petrol Lightnings and with the electric prototype build now well underway, the electric Lightning GT is now available to pre-order.
