Ceder group at MIT analyzes the limits and opportunities of phosphates as Li-ion cathode materials using a Materials Genome approach

Green Car Congress

Gerbrand Ceder, have performed a high-throughput ab initio analysis of phosphates as Li-ion cathode materials, computing the voltage, capacity (gravimetric and volumetric), specific energy, energy density, stability, and safety of thousands of phosphate compounds. The two first couples have been extensively studied in olivine LiMPO 4.

CalCars and PHEVs Frequently Asked Questions

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. The EPRI says lithium-ion batteries are ready now.
