A new concept of a cadmium electrode associated with a lighter nickel structure, a multicell module technology, allows the proposal of a very promising alternative power source for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, the usable specific energy being 31% of the theoretical value. Every characteristic of this Ni-Cd module (i.e. specific energy and power, energy and power density, energy efficiency, life and reliability) gives the best performing EV battery, to date. Thus, with the efficient support of two major French car manufacturers and the French government, SAFT will launch, during Spring 1995, the first pilot line of EV Ni-Cd module manufacturing.
