The UK’s Network Rail, the company that runs, maintains and develops Britain’s rail tracks, signaling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings, viaducts and 17 key stations, is part of an industry study into the feasibility of using battery electric trains on parts of the railway which have not been electrified.

A new study by a team from Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering has found that even large increases in lithium prices are unlikely to increase significantly the cost of batteries or battery packs for end users such as vehicle manufactures or consumers—although some manufacturers may see reduced profit margins.

A new study by Charles J. The Stanford study considered a future US grid where up to 80% of the electricity comes from renewables. We find that annual material resource production places tight limits on Li-ion, VRB and PHS development and loose limits on NaS and CAES. The five battery technologies fared much worse.
