Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, some in start-up production, will provide adequate range for commuting and normal household transportation demands. In March `94, at Phoenix Electric 500, a five passenger compact sedan, powered by the new Ovonic Nickel-metal hydride battery, was driven 125 miles and averaged over 65 MPH without stopping. Two larger cars recorded 116 and 111 miles with two eight minute quick charges in the same time frame. Electronics is the key to future improvements, with particular importance placed on smart technology, chargers, controllers, instrumentation and safety. 8 refs.
