An electric car can Gallop 19 consecutive hours, drive from Toronto to Halifax 1800 kilometers away, the whole without stopping charging? In theory it would be possible. In recent days, Alcoa Canada Corporation and Israel Phinergy company in Montreal has shown the public that such a Super life battery technology.

Lithium-ion battery-powered electric cars to the biggest obstacle is the limited range, now gets most of the 135 km (Nissan Leaf) to 480 km/h (Tesla model s), unless a large number of fast-charging stations installed, or not suitable for long trips and driving electric cars. Alcoa Canada Corporation and Israel about Phinergy new show of 100 kilograms of aluminum-air battery stores enough power to 3000 kilometers. By contrast, Tesla Model s battery exceeds 500 kg, and mileage less than 500 kilometers.

Charging new batteries are not ordinary power grid, but charge at Alcoa smelting workshop of hydropower station, fully charged battery is actually a majority of thick made of aluminum panels. Aluminum sheet absorbs oxygen from the air as well as water causes chemical reactions in users of the car, the aluminum becomes aluminum oxide, thus releasing energy to power the car. Oxidation of aluminum in aluminum occurs naturally when exposed to air, surface of aluminium prevents deep aluminum continues to react to new battery technology include electrolyte soluble oxide layer on the surface, the reaction continued.

In accordance with Alcoa Canada company presentations, cars still have what you need to use such batteries lithium-ion batteries, aluminum battery lithium-ion battery before starting, so it can be used for a long time, during which a month filling water. Usually a year or so after the limit is reached, to the service station to replace aluminum battery charged.

Using this prototype vehicle with an attached battery, in a formula one race in Montreal last week after a test drive. Phinergy company on June 4 at the Canada International aluminium Conference to introduce the new invention. At present, the invention companies are negotiating with Quebec production agreement to make this zero-emission vehicles will be put into operation soon.
