Could a nano-enabled battery one day power a car at speeds of 100+ mph? Actually, that day is already here. Altair Nanotechnologies has delivered ten rapid charge, high power NanoSafe battery packs to Phoenix Motorcars.

Altairnano's NanoSafe battery packs allow the Phoenix sport utility truck (SUT) and sport utility vehicle (SUV) to exceed performance specifications for the State of California Type III Zero Emissions Vehicle. Altairnano provides nano-Titanate based batteries that are used in two battery pack configurations: a 35 KWh and a 70 KWh NanoSafe pack.

The 35 and 70 KWh NanoSafe packs provide sufficient power and energy for a fleet vehicle to travel up to 130 or 250 miles, respectively, with a top speed of over 100 mph. Both NanoSafe battery packs can be recharged in less than 10 minutes using an industrial 480 volt battery charging platform.
