GE and Berkeley Lab developing water-based high energy density flow battery for EVs

Green Car Congress

This battery could be one-fourth the cost of current car batteries, and could nearly triple the distance electric vehicles could travel on a single charge. The system uses water-based solutions of inorganic chemicals that are capable of transferring more than one electron, providing high-energy density. Click to enlarge.
