ARPA-E’s first solicitation awarded $151 million to 37 projects aimed at transformational innovations in energy storage, biofuels, carbon capture, renewable power, building efficiency, vehicles, and other areas. The critical barrier to wider deployment of electric vehicles is the high cost and low energy of today’s batteries.

For example, he noted, “the standard way of building oscillators is to build one and then multiplex it until you have as many as you need. When the design of the Commodore 64 began, the overriding goals were simplicity and low cost. We did it in a very modular fashion,” said Yannes. It’s a personal challenge.
