A New Kind of Green Car Battery

Here at Pacific Honda, we know that green cars are getting more popular. They keep getting better and better every year, attracting more drivers who may not have been interested in an electric or hybrid model before. Now, the Honda brand is working on a new innovation that could help them become even more popular. Specifically, it's focusing on the battery that's going to power those new Honda cars of the future.

Automakers are all trying to evolve their own battery of the future right now. For green cars to really take off, they need advanced batteries that will attract the attention of even the most ardent driver of gas guzzlers. These batteries need to give green cars a long range. They need to charge quickly. They need to be safe.

The Honda brand, in a partnership with researchers from NASA and the California Institute of Technology, may have found that future battery technology we've been waiting for. They've developed a fluoride-ion battery with ten times the energy density than current lithium-ion batteries. Fluoride-ion batteries could also be far lighter, while boosting the range of electric vehicles even higher. Overheating isn't an issue and this battery tech is even more environmentally friendly.

Naturally, there are still some challenges to tackle before this tech makes its way to our favorite Honda models. Keep an eye on this blog for the latest news about Honda technology, and we'll make sure we keep you updated on the latest green vehicle news!
