DOE announces $60M to accelerate advanced vehicle technologies research

Green Car Congress

VTO-funded research has reduced the cost of advanced batteries by 75% since 2008, and nearly every plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) on the road today uses VTO-developed battery technology. Advanced liquid electrolytes for lithium-ion cells under extreme conditions, such as extreme fast charging, and mechanical, thermal, or electrical abuse.

The Net-Zero Neighborhood: Advanced Energy Storage and Highly Efficient Photovoltaics Take Transportation Off the Gasoline Grid and Residential Off the Electric Grid

Green Car Congress

The NZN concept relies on high energy density storage systems incorporated into the local grid, as well as efficient photovoltaic generation. Weigand is looking for a “500-mile battery” such as a Li-O 2 (Lithium air) thin film nano-technology system and for 50% efficient photovoltaic cells. Source: Gil Weigand. Click to enlarge.
