The Electric Car Battery Battle

Doug K It's obvious you are fairly knowlegeable about alternate methods of power for cars and you also hate GM.

I'm sorry, but your parameter comparison of NiMH and Li-on are not accurate except for cost and for the moment, reliability. Given the maturity gap of the two, It is difficult to make comparisons. I believe Li-on will surpass NiMH in these issues in the near future.

Again, look at the power tool industry which changed over to Li-on within two years of introduction.

The Electric Car Battery Battle

Theorize all you want about which battery technology will power future cars, I prefer to use empirical data when available.

Just look at the power tool industry and radio controlled plane and helicoptor hobbies for a glimpse into the future. MHD batteries went the way of the buggy whip; replaced by Lithium/Ion because of superior performance and reduction of size and weight.

Look for companies developing methods of mass production as target investments.
