Title
Public display of crash-tested Volvo electric car includes Ener1's lithium-ion battery
Description
During the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Volvo President and CEO Stefan Jacoby unveiled a crash- tested C30 Electric designed with Ener1's EnerDel battery. According to Ener1, the car on display in Detroit was tested at Volvo Cars' crash test laboratory in Sweden in December 2010 with a fully charged EnerDel lithium-ion battery and was subjected to a 40-mph offset frontal collision with a barrier. The test produced the results expected by the companies' engineers. The front deformed and distributed the crash and both the batteries and the cables, which are part of the electric system, remained intact after the collision. This video tells the story.
