EnerDel and Think Global Demonstrate Operational Li-Ion Pack in Th!nk City Vehicle
9 June 2008
EnerDel, has installed and demonstrated a fully functional lithium-ion battery pack in a Th!nk City electric vehicle at its manufacturing facility in Indianapolis. The integration of the battery pack into a Th!nk City EV was completed ahead of the schedule previously announced by EnerDel. (Earlier post.)
The successful completion of this milestone indicates that EnerDel is on schedule to meet the year-end timetable for volume production under its supply agreement with Think Global of Oslo, Norway.
EnerDel delivered three functional 27 kWh lithium-ion battery packs to Think Global earlier this year for testing. Both companies are working to meet the scheduled roll-out of pre-production units over the next three months.

The TH!NK car must soon be converted to a series hybrid. The promise of high energy density of lithium ion batteries will never meet that of even ethanol, The fuel cell and the predictions about future lithium ion batteries have prevented the large scale manufacture and use of perfectly useable ZEBRA batteries in electric vehicles in a series hybrid configuration. Pretend that ethanol is a zero emmission fuel and build tiny engine series hybrid cars. TZERO already demonstrated this. ...HG...
