Background to this Research
Since the first version of this report was published in late 2009 the global automotive industry has been busy preparing a mass of new environmentally friendly models, all requiring advanced energy storage, at the same time going through the severest economic crisis in living memory. During this period battery technology has progressed, perhaps not quite as fast as many would have wanted, but significantly nonetheless and the pace of investment doesn't appear to have slowed. The vehicle and energy storage manufactures have been focused on developing cost effective packages and addressing issues related to vehicle fitment, battery life and many commercial aspects of the market.
At the time of the original report the Nissan Leaf was still being touted as the first major volume application of Lithium-ion batteries, and the Toyota Prius the leading hybrid car, with a NiMh battery. This is still the case. New models with Lithium-ion batteries are starting to enter the market and will make up the majority of new models in the future. In total during 2010/11 over 30 new hybrid and electric vehicle models or trials have been introduced with another 50 almost certain over the next 2-3 years.
