The IEA’s June 2011 Technology Roadmap – Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is an update of the original report from 2009. Governments need to coordinate the expansion of EV and PHEV sales, help provide recharging infrastructure, and, along with electric utilities, ensure adequate electricity supply. battery requirements).

The California Energy Commission has awarded $1,585,490 to spur research on projects including a solid-state Li-ion battery system for grid-scale energy storage. to develop and test a 25 kWh prototype battery system based on nanostructured polymer electrolytes. This technology would increase efficiency and lower production costs.

ZAI) has obtained exclusive rights from LLNL for the mechanically rechargeable zinc air fuel cell (US Patent 5,434,020) invented by John Cooper, a retired LLNL chemist, who is on the ZAI technical Board of Advisors. The Zinc/Air Fuel Cell allows for rapid refueling, as opposed to overnight recharging, which makes multiple shifts a reality.

Moreover, Gen Y consumers heavily favor hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles (57%) over pure battery electric vehicles (2%) or vehicles with a traditional gasoline-only powertrain (37%). Deloitte conducted the survey in September and October 2011. (Deloitte defines Gen Y consumers as those currently ranging in age from 19 to 31.).

As batteries get cheaper and smaller, and motors get light enough to fit inside wheels, we’ll be able to upgrade smaller cars. We won’t need new power plants, since we have enough off-peak electricity to recharge as many retrofits as we can build. Retrofit technologies are already good enough to install in large vehicles.

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel.
