What can nanotechnology do for your batteries?
With Altairnano’s innovative technology, the possibilities have never been greater. Think about an innovative rechargeable battery designed to meet the challenges of ordinary rechargeable batteries. Those challenges include a long recharge time, short cycle life, poor operational safety and no tolerance for extreme temperatures. If you had a battery that could meet those challenges, you could move into new applications and new markets.

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid concept car created by General Motors. However, the company has avoided the use of the term "hybrid," preferring to call it an electric vehicle with a "range extender" due to its design.[2] The vehicle is designed to run purely on electricity from on-board batteries for up to 40 miles (64 km) —which is a large enough distance to cover the daily commutes of most Americans, which is around 25 miles (40 km). With use of a small internal combustion engine hooked to a generator to resupply the batteries, the vehicle's range is potentially increased to 640 miles (1,030 km) on the highway. General Motors Corp. may build as many as 60,000 of its Volt electric cars for their inaugural year on the market, twelve times the sales of Toyota Motor Corp.'s hybrid Prius, for their inaugural year.

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine or hydrogen fuel cell, as well as an electric motor with onboard energy via storage batteries or capacitors that can be recharged by connecting a plug to an electrical power source. Plug-in hybrids have characteristics of both conventional hybrid electric vehicles and of battery electric vehicles.
