Electricity enters Automobiles
Now a days we see many things used from electricity like stove etc. Everything goes electric, similarly electricity enters even the big kingdom Automobiles. Man can ride a car with electricity and without fuel, amazing right and economical too.
The future of the motor vehicle, more or less, rests on the shoulders of the lithium-ion battery. This type of battery is the primary powering source used in modern electric cars, and auto manufacturing companies have
spent the bulk of their new research money on improving the charge life of the lithium-ion battery. Their hopes are that the battery’s technology will advance to such a point that the electric car will become just as affordable and reliable as a regular, gas-powered motor vehicle. The big leap toward battery advancement may still be far into the future, but little by little, the lithium-ion battery is improving.
A Rechargeable Battery
Simply put, what makes the lithium-ion battery so attractive to car manufacturing companies is the fact that it is rechargeable, and, therefore, can theoretically last a lifetime (or, at least, much longer than a standard car battery.)
However, this type of battery is not just seen in electric cars, lithium-ion batteries have been around for quite some time and are used in many common electronic devices such as laptop computers and cell phones.
Some Disadvantages
However, there are also some disadvantages. First, cell life tends to be far less than other battery types; as a result, they need to maintain a constant charge or they will die. On a similar note, lithium-ion batteries are also susceptible to environmental changes which can affect the battery’s cell life quite drastically; for example, if the internal temperature is too high or too low, the battery will not last as long than if it were kept at room temperature. This is not the case for most other types of batteries which can withstand a variety of temperatures.
The high internal resistance of lithium-ion is responsible for this reaction as the resistance is the cause for the loss of charge during operation. Also, there are safety problems in very extreme cases with lithium-ion batteries. When electric cars first became popular, some experienced battery fires, which were the result of high internal combustion levels in the batteries themselves. This problem has largely been fixed, and will continue to improve as the technology advances.
In future we can see electricity ruling over many kingdoms.
