Scientists at the University of Delaware are developing a new low-cost material for hydrogen storage—carbonized chicken feathers (CCFF)—that they say could meet the DOE requirements for hydrogen storage and are competitive with carbon nanotubes and metal hydrates at a tiny fraction of their cost.

Alexander Gabay, a researcher at the University of Delaware, states flatly: “I am skeptical that any non-rare-earth permanent magnet could be used in a synchronous traction motor in the near future.” Ferrite magnets, based on a form of iron oxide, are cheap and account for nearly 30 percent of the permanent-magnet market by sales.

In contrast, the principal metals in the new compound developed by the Brookhaven team are both abundant and cheap: $20 per kilogram for nickel and $32 per kilogram for molybdenum. In this new catalyst, nickel takes the reactive place of platinum, but it lacks a comparable electron density. —Wei-Fu Chen.

Then, as electricity entrepreneurs expanded power generation and transmission capacity, they faced the new problem of what to do with all the cheap off-peak, nighttime electricity they could now produce. As utilities shifted to more reliable alternating-current systems, they phased out these costly backup batteries. Electric Car tzero 0-60 3.6

Nor is it surprising, as a University of California, Berkeley study found, that homeowners purchase EVs at nearly six times the rate of renters. A typical age mix of multifamily rental housing can be seen in the greater Philadelphia region as shown in Figure 1, from a Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission report.

Washington state has an abundance of power very cheap from all the hydro. I watched the BMW i3s at Delaware University [an early V2X pilot], and my mind was blown. In Newark, for example, you could just about get as much power as you want within six to nine months. The pioneer of vehicle-to-grid is part of my team.
