the same range as petrol cars<BR></STRONG>Li-air batteries are a promising
opportunity for electric cars. "If we succeed in developing this technology, we
are facing the ultimate breakthrough for electric cars, because in practice, the
energy density of Li-air batteries will be comparable to that of petrol and
diesel, if you take into account that a combustion engine only has an efficiency
of around 30 percent," Tejs Vegge, senior scientist in the Materials Research
Division at Risoe DTU. <BR></FONT></FONT><A
