Honda Motor Co. will use lithium-ion batteries developed by Toshiba in a test version of its electric car, having plans to supply this type of HP Pavilion dv6 Battery for electric scooters.
Tomohiko Kawanabe, head of Honda’s research and development division recently declared that Kyoto-based GS Yuasa Corp. will provide lithium-ion Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery for its hybrid vehicles while Toshiba’s packs will be suitable for all-electric cars because they need more power.
Meanwhile, Honda has extended its agreements with four laptop batteries makers, including Sanyo and Panasonic. These two companies make nickel-metal hybrid packs for Honda’s latest hybrid vehicles.
Unlike Nissan’s Leaf electric car, Honda’s electric car has an autonomy of more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) on a single charge. The plug-in hybrid is able to run about 25 kilometers on battery power, being the same as Toyota’s plug-in.
Currently, Nissan hasn’t decided if they will use Toshiba’s batteries for mass production. Presently, Toshiba develops lithium-ion batteries for Honda’s EV-neo electric scooter.
