The system is meant to assist manufacturers with different cost, reliability, safety and availability factors. It is universal and suitable for other energy storage systems such as NiMH or ultracapacitors. It will provide flexibility for dual sourcing and will reduce risks by cost effectively supporting future changes.

Ford had earlier developed a NiMH battery model for use in KLTs, as detailed in a 2010 paper by a Ford team (Yang et al. Ford draws on the data it collected from these previous-generation efforts, especially the higher volume production hybrids. The Key Life Test (KLT) takes about 10 months to complete.

The vans, which have a 20-mile all-electric range, will be outfitted with either nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries or lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries. The cost, reliability and weight of batteries are often cited by automotive industry experts as one of the stumbling blocks to the mass production of plug-ins. “We

introduced its new iCAP 3,000 Farad (F) ultracapacitor, the first size in a new family of cell products. Although the ultracap unit would increase the cost of the system by about $100, Hall said, there are other savings inherent in not having to run an AGM lead-acid battery over a larger voltage cycle.

With NiMH batteries - those that provide energy to every hybrid on the road and thousands of all-electric cars - the Volt plug-in hybrid could go into production today. Only government incentives and mandates for production can take the Volt, or a plug-in Prius for that matter, from green spin to showrooms. Write CARB.

Alternative combinations, such as Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), which has a little better lifetime, are occasionally used. First, when production goes up, may issues with materials availability, supply networks, or price volatility arise with this battery design? That is true in the case of solid-state batteries as well.

The current state of market readiness of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles presents serious challenges, particularly in mass production, given issues including range; cost; a charging time still longer than a conventional gasoline refueling; a broad variation in battery pack life, and the lack of infrastructure.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. What about battery safety?

Mr. Kulongoski wants to make Oregon the go-to state for electric vehicle production. Even so, most next gen EV manufacturers are focused on lithium ion (and to a lesser extent NiMH) as the core technology to power their cars. Chevron owns the NiMH patents and have not allowed EV size batts to be built. — jerryd 7.
