OXIS Energy - the only battery chemistry with the power and size to make the electric vehicle a final reality
January 2012
Public transport could be on the brink of changing forever.
We're already used to the idea of the electric car. Now, OXIS Energy Ltd has joined forces with Induct of France to make a robotic vehicle to transport people in cities. No petrol, no diesel ... and no hands either!
Listen to the podcast to find out how this breakthrough all began.

Electric Vehicles
Clean Technology - Institute of Directors
Believe it or not, at the beginning of the 20th century a great debate took place between the advocates of electric power and those who favoured the internal combustion engine (ICE) powered by petrol. History tells us which technology was adapted to widespread acclaim and the making of millions of dollars for the oil-producing countries of the world.

Lithium Sulphur Batteries - Raising Expectations!!!
Frost and Sullivan
Lithium sulphur battery chemistry has gained attention in the hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle (HEV/EV) industries. Although scientists have been working on this chemistry for nearly a decade, only recently has a rechargeable lithium sulphur battery been developed for mass production. The team of scientists from the University of Waterloo has created much anticipation and curiosity, specifically in the automotive industry, with the development of this chemistry...
