... Researchers at the Fraunhofer ICT state that they can increase the mileage four or five times, that brings redox flow batteries in competition to lithium-ion batteries, and can be recharged in minutes. ...
Improved redox flow batteries for electric cars
Peak Oil News —
... from the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT in Pfinztal near Karlsruhe see an alternative in redox flow batteries. These batteries are based on fluid electrolytes. They can therefore be recharged at the gas station in a few minutes the discharged electrolyte is simply pumped out and replaced with recharged fluid, says engineer Jens Noack from ICT. The pumped-off electrolyte can be recharged at the gas station, for example, using a wind turbine or solar plant. Fraunhofer "

... would likely appeal to the public, which is quite familiar with the process of refilling an automobile for more range. Researchers have just recently figured out how to extend the range of these redox flow batteries to that of comparable lithium ion units.
Currently, the team from Germany has created a working 1:10 scale model using older redox flow batteries, and future plans call for the assembly of larger-scale battery packs using its refined technology.
