Electric Vehicles
Driving the Future 
Sion Power's Li-S batteries have the potential to be an enabling technology for both Plug In Hyrid and Pure Electric Vehicles. With over 350 Wh/Kg today, this exceeds most manufacturers' expectations for specific energy for a vehicle battery. The chart below clearly demonstrates why Li-S is the key to a successful electric vehicle battery:
Advantages of Li-S in Electric Vehicles
Using Full Toyota RAV4 EV Pack Volume
| | NiMH (27 kWh) |
Li-Ion (30 kWh) |
Li-Ls (54 kWh) |
Li-Ls (70 kWh) |
| Driving Range (miles) |
81 | 94 | 170 | 226 |
| Total Module Weight (lbs) |
995 | 600 | 475 | 426 |
| Total Module Volume (cu ft) |
6.7 | 6.7 | 6.7 | 6.7 |
| Max Vehicle Payload (lbs) |
766 | 766 | 1286 | 1335 |
(The 54 kWh packs is based on using SION's 350 WH/Kg technology while the 70 kWh pack is using the next generation of cells that are at 450 WH/Kg.)
Not only does Li-S improve the driving range of the vehicle, it improves the overall payload capability. With a compromise between the battery volume and battery weight, a SION Power Li-S vehicle battery pack can achieve one of the primary goals set forth by auto makers ö a 300 mile driving range. It is easy to see why SION Power's Li-S batteries are the future power source for electric vehicles.
