More past vanadium news Further news on vanadium's many clean energy uses. Emphasis is on DMB Energy's 2010 partnership with German Utility Lekker Energy in which they equipped an Audi A2 with its new lithium-Vanadium metal polymer battery which set a long distance record of 603 kilometres (375 miles) on a 6 miniuite charge.

Excerpt:
One of the most compelling break-throughs illustrating how Vanadium, when combined with lithium, creates “supercharged” batteries is the recent news by Germany’s DBM Energy. In partnership with German utility Lekker Energie, DBM Energy equipped an Audi A2 electric vehicle with its new lithium-Vanadium metal polymer battery and set a long distance record of 603 kilometres (375 miles) travelled on a single charge. The battery’s basic electro-chemistry consists of a metallic lithium anode and a Vanadium oxide cathode. DBM Energy claims the battery has 97% efficiency and can be charged at virtually any electrical socket. Plugged into a 240-volt direct-current source, the battery can be fully charged within 6 minutes.
There are now several companies that have announced that they are developing and in some cases, soon producing lithium-Vanadium-phosphate batteries:
