Volvo invests in next generation battery development

According to a news story from Pocket-lint.co.uk, Volvo has invested £150,000 in TranSiC AB. Transic AB is developing a conductor based on silicon carbide.

Silicon carbide is used to conduct current in electric motors. Silicon Carbide has a higher resistance to heat, and can be made smaller and more compact. If the promise is fulfilled, hybrid cars can be made lighter and cheaper.
