Among the other key findings are: Honda’s recent and rapid transition from moderate to strong-hybrid production will be superimposed on the consistent expansion at Toyota and Ford, driving demand for Li-ion batteries for this type of application. Li-Ion batteries for strong hybrids are in short supply.

Although BMW didn’t sell enough cars in California to be obligated under the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate during the ‘90s, during the past few years it was clear the German automaker would cross the threshold. As with the NEV fiasco, credit-building schemes are taking precedence over production zero emission vehicles on the road.

CalCars supports conversion programs as a strategy to increase awareness and support for PHEVs and thereby motivate automakers to build production PHEVs. Our goal is to enable owners to enlist a local electrician/engineer to convert their cars, initially with lead-acid batteries, for under $6,000 and less than two person-weeks of time. (We

That picture changes considerably in California, with the PHEV model tagged with 150 g/mile, while the electric carries a burden of 90 g/mile. We experienced this on a medium-length drive over hilly terrain in Southern California. The softer, more natural feel is achieved along with less reliance on oil-based products.

The flow battery proposed in this work is different than the traditional flow batteries because all reagents and products reside as solids, which are part of the electrodes. Elimination or substantial reduction of membrane separators is another advantage of flow batteries. They were also presented at the AICHE annual meeting in October 2011.
