connectivity by NASA is to share its experience in automobile electric cars

With its long history and expertise in battery development, NASA has become a strategic partner as natural as for manufacturers of electric vehicles. The famous Lunar Roving Vehicle, the vehicle that rolled on the moon, for example, was equipped with solar panels and rechargeable batteries (silver-zinc-potassium), capable of storing energy for use at night. As you can imagine, the batteries that fit these motorized vehicles must be both safe and very resistant to extreme conditions: pressure off, extreme heat or cold, high radiation ... Any battery failure in orbit is likely to jeopardize a space mission.

The American agency has used for the first time the lithium-ion batteries in 2004, when sending the automated vehicle in March Opportunity Rover. Since then, NASA continues to work on the issue, as demonstrated by this prototype that responds to the name "Desert Rats".

This experience of course interested carmakers. Thus the company Hybrid Technologies Inc., which later became EV Innovations and Li-Ion Motors had signed an agreement with the Kennedy Space Center in 2006 to test its vehicles by engineers to improve battery Lithium-ion batteries.

With the expertise of the agency, the company based in Los Angeles was able to develop and deploy the first taxi in New York 100% electric, and PT Cruisers and Mini Coopers converted to electric. Today Li-Ion Motors is able to equip any vehicle with thermal lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, and converting them into electric vehicles. And it develops its own Vehicles, such as the Wave II who was awarded under the Auto X Prize in the USA, and the GT Inizio which was presented at Detroit.

Engineers at the U.S. space agency, which of course electric cars in their fleet, currently working on a new generation of lithium-ion battery that would be even stronger and more efficient in terms of heat loss. These technical improvements would lead to a new generation of electric vehicles, more robust and safer, which would be of interest to many manufacturers and suppliers.
