Lithium Ion Vs Wet-Cell Batteries

Richard Bradbury | Daniel Fernandez | Ariff Roose

15-Sep-18 12:00

Lithium Ion Vs Wet-Cell Batteries

We start of this week’s episode with Ariff speeding through the biggest headlines in the automotive world, as several sources have spread false information regarding the prices of Proton and petrol respectively. While Audi and Range Rover allegedly plan on moving operations here in Malaysia. Vietnam’s native car company, Vinfast, are set to join the Paris Motor Show for the first time, arousing speculation over what they have in store, and whether they pose a competitive threat to us. Daniel discusses the recent surge in supercars incorporating lithium-ion batteries into their models, and compares it to its common alternative, wet-cell batteries. We end the episode with a review of the Mercedes Benz C250, the latest, most distinct addition to the world of grand tourers.
