Electric car with massive range in demo by Phinergy, Alcoa - ion battery

Imagine making 19-hour, 1,800-
Drive a kilometer from torunto to Halifax by electric car without having to stop and charge.
This is theoretically possible, and Israel showed a special battery in Montreal this week.
Headquartered in the Philippines and Alcoa, Canada.
The partner refurbished a "regular car" using a special "Aluminum-air" battery.
When Batterycan is used with the conventional lithium of the vehicle, the range of electric vehicles has been expanded by 1,600 kilometers. ion battery.
"We hope this will increase the penetration rate of zero-emission electric vehicles," Phinergy CEO AvivTzidon said in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Montreal headquarters earlier this week, adding that, it should end "range anxiety ".
"Hearing the full interview from homerun, the anxiety about how far electric cars can go before they need to charge is often considered to be the reason why the electric car market is still relatively small.
Electric vehicles on the market now have a regular battery life range of up to several hundred kilometers --
Nissan Leaf 135 kilometers, Tesla Model S more expensive version 480 kilometers.
This makes these cars unsuitable for long-distance road trips unless highvoltage fast-
There are charging stations along the way, which are still relatively uncommon.
"You want to buy freedom when you buy a car," Tzidon said . ".
"When you have a car with a limited range and you need to have [the] infrastructure quickly --
You lost this freedom.
According to Tzidon, electric car drivers hope that more charging stations will reduce "remote anxiety" and the new battery technology can store enough energy to drive a 3,000 car with 100 of aluminum. air batteries.
In contrast, the Tesla Model S battery is estimated to exceed 500.
These batteries are not "charged" from the grid, but "charged" from the hydroelectric power generated by Alcoa's smelting plant in Baie. Comeau, Que. ,Tzidon said.
When they are full
They are thick and heavy panels made of aluminum.
The energy is released through a chemical reaction that absorbs oxygen from the air and uses the water injected by the user into the car to turn aluminum into alumina (similar to a reaction that turns iron into rust )).
This reaction naturally occurs when aluminum is exposed to air, however, the alumina layer on the surface prevents the reaction from going deep.
The technology of Phinergy includes the electrolyte that dissolves the surface layer, allowing the reaction to proceed.
According to Alcoa, Earth Day 2014: electric vehicles at the "tipping point" require owners to charge aluminum air batteries with tap water every month or twice to cope with chemical reactions.
During the "quick operation" of the local service station, used batteries will be replaced by rechargeable batteries.
Because the car will still depend on its regular model.
The ion battery will switch to aluminum most of the time-
Air battery as spare only when lithium-
Since most cars travel 50 kilometers or less, Alcoa estimates aluminum
Air batteries only need to be replaced once a year.
Tzidon introduced the car at the scanadian international aluminum conference on Wednesday, and under the demonstration driving of the track Gilles, the car began to be on display
The Villeneuve circuit earlier this week.
Tzidon said Phinergy and Alcoa are negotiating with the Quebec government the possibility of a demonstration project involving small car teams using their technology.
