Two studies exploring battery costs for hybrids and plug-ins: LEESS, PHEV20, and PHEV40

Green Car Congress

For PHEV20 batteries, TIAX found significant overlap in battery costs among five cathode classes, with wider variation within each chemistry based on the electrode design than between chemistries. Costs were modeled for a 300V PHEV battery pack that could provide 5.5 Source: TIAX. Click to enlarge. Manufacturing.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) Recent years have seen the construction of large lithium-ion battery farms that do just that.
