December 20, 201411 yr New UK pedelec battery that benefits the whole community... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-30476591
December 20, 201411 yr New UK pedelec battery that benefits the whole community... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-30476591 I wonder what cells they used. I can imagine that battery technology moved on from the time they specified the batteries to the time it was finished. 10MWH is equivalent to 25000 36v 10ah ebike batteries, which would cost about £2.5 million, so someone probably made a nice little earner out of the £18.4 million funding.
