Batteries

Obviously, electric vehicles wouldn't be electric vehicles without some sort of energy storage. (I exclude traction-fed electric vehicles like third-rail subways and overhead-powered trains).
Batteries are the single most difficult component of a electric vehicle to get and keep working.

The battery information at EvTech is broken down into chemistries:

• LeadAcid
• LithiumIon
• LithiumPolymer
• NickelCadmium
• NickelMetalHydride
• NickelZinc
• Silver
• NickelSodiumChlorideAluminum
• Nickel-Iron

Right now most of these are just pointers to wikipedia articles. The Wikipedia has a entire topic that is relevant: Rechargable Batteries
