DOE issues FOA for up to $4M for development of advanced H2 storage systems and materials

Green Car Congress

R&D is concentrated on low-pressure, materials-based technologies and lower-cost, high pressure tank technologies for hydrogen storage systems to meet performance targets. Three overarching performance targets for onboard hydrogen storage systems are: gravimetric capacity; volumetric capacity; and system cost. kWh/kg (5.5 kWh/kg (7.5

EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW. When these goals are met, the levelized cost of an all-electric vehicle with a 280-mile range will be comparable to that of an ICE vehicle of similar size. That would take a 55 kW system cost of $1,650 down to $440 and increase power density from 1.1 kW/kg to 1.4
