Advanced nanotech batteries are becoming a driving force in making electric cars that go farther and faster between charges, up to five times farther than today’s conventional batteries, and China may play a role in bringing this new technology to market.
Electric car pioneer ZAP and lithium-polymer and nanotech battery developer Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. today announced the opening of a joint development office in Beijing to expand their research, manufacturing and marketing of advanced batteries for electric cars using the latest in nanotechnology.
ZAP recently completed a purchase agreement to acquire $5.168 Million in lithium-polymer and nanotech batteries from Advance Battery Technologies for use in ZAP’s line of XEBRA electric cars and trucks as well as other vehicles and battery systems.
