Hybrid Technologies is teaming up with Kokam South Korea to build a car capable of traveling 1000 miles on a single battery charge. The North Carolina company is opening a facility in Asia to further develop integration between its electrical management system and Kokam's lithium ion batteries.
The companies are designing a 300 kilowatt hour system that has 10 times the capacity of current battery systems. The two companies are already providing lithium-powered custom hybrids for Frito Lay.
I'm guessing that this would have to be a plug-in hybrid as generating all of that electricity for recharging the batteries from regenerative braking seems to be impossible.
