Surprisingly, it's been nearly two decades since the last major advance in battery technology - the commercialization of the lithium-ion cell. This battery type remains the industry's standard for pure electric vehicles because it can deliver more power over a longer period of time at a lower cost than any competitive technology.

令人惊讶的是，电池技术的最近一次重大进步北京翻译公司（即锂离子电池亮相市场）已过去将近20年了。目前，锂离子电池仍是全电动车辆的行业标准，因为同其他任何竞争技术相比，它都能在更长的时间内，以更低的成本，输出更多的电能。

However, for what the automotive industry refers to as High Efficiency Vehicles (HEVs) - a.k.a. conventional hybrids - a new battery technology is on the horizon that will make these vehicles less costly, less weighty, and more green (in terms of battery-pack recyclablility).

然而，针对汽车行业所称的高效车辆（HEV；又名传统混合动力车辆），一种新型电池技术也问世了，将使这种车辆更便宜、更轻便、更环保（就电池组可回收性而言）。

The new technology comes from the California company PowerGenix. The company holds twenty-three patents (granted and pending) on nickel-zinc batteries. The base formulation for NiZn batteries isn't new (Thomas Edison attempted but gave up on making the formulation work), but as PowerGenix CEO Dan Squiller notes, "What the engineers and chemists at PowerGenix discovered was how to make the elements play nice together and last for an extended period of time while charging and discharging."

这一新技术发明者是加利福尼亚州的PowerGenix公司音频翻译。该公司持有23项镍锌电池专利技术（包括已获专利和待批专利）。镍锌电池的基础配方并不是新事物（托马斯·爱迪生就曾尝试过，但后来放弃了），但PowerGenix首席执行官Dan Squiller宣称：“我们的工程师和化学家发现了如何使这些元素在充放电时进行最佳配合，使电池持续更长时间。
