Graphene on the scene at least for Fisker
« on: October 07, 2016, 07:33:00 PM »

Now a Chinese company (correction the old Fisker is now Chinese this new car is by Mr. Fisker himself, I need to fully read my own posted articles) Fisker is putting out a Tesla like sedan with a graphene battery.
Looks like we got a race.

Well, when it comes to the Chinese making unproven consumer batteries, I get a little nervous.  :o Perhaps they should start out reselling the Fisker first with normal lithium batteries, gain a foothold in the market and a good reputation as a maker of electric cars - and then start experimenting with new battery concepts. I hope this isn't just another case of a startup trolling for investment dollars.   ::)

The Zero battery uses graphene.

In that case I retract my "unproven" statement.  That was news to me.   ???

Zero uses graphene?  I don't recall hearing that, I saw where Luke talked about the benefits of it in an old video but I thought Zero was still Li-ion just improved.

It's still a lithium battery but they have been using Farasis cells that have graphene in them for a few years.
