Lithium ion battery? MIEV is the future. Even Lotus is in it. Check this article out. The Lotus Eigne is a design study on an electric sportscar with a 3+1 seating arrangement that was created by David Fearnley, a graduate from the Transportation Design Course at Northumbria University. The Eigne’s powertrain consists of four in-wheel electric motors that offer the sports car rear biased four-wheel drive. The electric motors are powered by a set of batteries that are sandwiched in the floor pan. According to Fearnley, this solution not only keeps the batteries cool and lowers center of gravity for better handling, but it also eliminates any obstacles on the floor pan allowing a 3+1 seat layout. What did I tell ya Minyak expensive? Lithium ion battery?

But as long as there are optional electrical source, it can be change. I believe battery would be easy to change or swap with different material as long as the voltage is the same. But will be another major cost to maintain that battery pack. Ya, lithium ion battery does not sound practical to use here. But as long as there are optional electrical source, it can be change.

It's using similar tech as the venerable Toyota Prius. Anyhow, I believe the future of car propulsion is Mitsubishi's MIEV. Electric motors placed inside the wheels are the way of the future.

I want to sell this "intellectual property rights" to Proton. :) I hope they could come out with this kind of electric hybrid in 2010. 1. The car would be fully run by twin/modular electric motor. 2. At idle only air-conditioning motor works (depend on where you live). 3. At normal cruising speed one motor powers the car. 4. During acceleration two or multiple motors powers the car. The engine could also kick in during acceleration 5. During braking/deceleration, the motor regenerates energy. 6. When battery power below certain level, the engine kicks in to recharge the battery. 7. When the battery fully recharged, the engine stops. 8. You could also recharge at your home at nights. 9. The small engine could be below 1000CC. It could even be below 500cc. 10. The modular motor would also means that you could add additional motor parallel with the existing ones. 11. The battery could also me modular. You could add additional batteries in parallel with the existing ones when the need arises. just a thought! rt.

THe investment is too high, no point to use it, unless you can use it forever. If only use for 5 to 7 years, YOU must Loose all your investment. Bet you the CAR price must be VERY HIGH compare to normal engine. Not a good move to save you few CENTs. Therefore, using old technologies is the cheapest way at the moment.
