KMW Electric Cars

The KMWEV program [weave] design team has been examining new advances in dielectric ultracapacitors and nanowire Liion batteries.

A team designing an electric competetor to the small sedan used capacitors and batteries to produce an EV similar in curb weight, superior in performance, and with 5-8 hour running life. With Stanford's new nanowire battery, sure to translate favorably in capacitance, the electric model has soundly overtaken the petroleum vehicle.

Adding the cheaper-than-coal solar paneling to the vehicle's body will trickle charge the battery as it runs, shortening charge time and battery size. More exciting to our engineers is the effect this new battery system will have on the electric motorcycle. A true and proper unlimited electrical bike can be built with the technology we now have. It is very probable that teams can beat the nitromethane racers within months.

Experiments in graphene production and synthesis are being beamed to our associates. Additional yields in conductivity and amperage may be forthcoming.

Combining these technologies and new pro-lab and robotic manufacturing operations could produce cheap and long-lasting electrical vehicles before 2010.
