The award is co-funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and includes a 50% cost-share by Leyden Energy. The focus of the 16-month program is to develop an advanced lithium-ion 12-volt start-stop battery system to meet or exceed the performance, life and cost targets set by USABC. Source: USABC.

The US Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is conducting research on alternative options to reduce costs and make large-scale energy storage safer and more practical. Magnesium is much more abundant in the Earth’s crust, making it less expensive than Li by a factor of 24. Earlier post.)

The Li-ion batteries are housed under the load compartment floor, where the propshaft and fuel tank are usually located in the Vito. The batteries feature high performance and load capacity, a high energy density and a nominal voltage of 360 volts. The 12 V onboard network was also completely newly developed.

MidAmericans David Sokol, BYDs Wang, and company advisor Li Lu flew with Sokol from Detroit to Omaha so that Wang could meet Buffett in person. In place of the robotic arms used on Japanese assembly lines, which cost $100,000 or more apiece, BYD actually cut costs by hiring hundreds, then thousands, of people.

In addition, producing different catalysts for OER and HER requires different equipment and processes, which could increase the cost. volt battery. An expensive barrier is needed to separate the two electrolytes, adding to the cost of the device, said graduate student Haotian Wang, lead author of the study. Earlier post.)In

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. If these companies are ultimately successful and can convince EV manufacturers to ditch lithuim ion, we could depend on the already robust recycling program.
