Novel Li-metal electrode design could lead to more powerful solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

The new electrode concept comes from the laboratory of Ju Li, the Battelle Energy Alliance Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and professor of materials science and engineering. The present versions provide at least a 50% improvement in the amount of energy that can be stored for a given weight, with much better cycling stability.

Vinfast adds US dealer franchises, as EV deliveries lag targets

Baua Electric

The additions will give the company 18 franchised dealerships in seven states—North Carolina, New York, Texas, Florida, Kansas, Connecticut, and Kentucky—since the start of a pivot to a dealer model last year. That’s on top of 15 company-owned stores and service centers in California—the nation’s largest EV market.

Parker Hannifin gaining traction with RunWise HD hydraulic hybrid; developing CNG-based HD system, next-gen MD system

Green Car Congress

The brake energy recovery system converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into stored energy by compressing nitrogen gas in a storage device called an accumulator. This stored energy is then released during acceleration to reduce the energy required from the engine to propel the vehicle. CNG concept.

US DOE Awarding Up To $62M for Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development

Green Car Congress

Awards under this category focus on research and development of concepts and components that could be part of a CSP baseload system. The energy is stored through a chemical reaction, which potentially allows the energy to be stored for a much longer period of time. University of South Florida – Tampa, FL – up to $2.5

New ORNL tool to assess global freshwater stress suggests that population growth could be a bigger factor in water availability than increasing temperatures

Green Car Congress

By water stress, researchers are referring to per capita freshwater availability of less than 450,000 gallons per person per year, but the ways society chooses to store and allocate water will determine whether an actual shortage exits.
