The Salton Sea geothermal field in California potentially holds enough lithium to meet all of the US’ domestic battery needs, with even enough left over to export some of it. Using various extraction techniques, lithium chloride can be extracted from the brine, then processed into other forms for battery production. Earlier post.).

Adrian Narvaez of Hawaii Hydrogen Carriers (HHC) observes a metal hydride storage tank, part of a project led by Sandia National Laboratories. Plus, they no longer have to purchase battery rechargers or dedicate space for recharging. Instead, companies can simply purchase and store hydrogen tanks as needed.

The enormous Tesla Megapack battery allows local municipalities and utility companies to store excess energy created during the day, often from renewables such as wind and solar, and then use that energy to supplement the generators when their production decreases.

Idaho and North Dakota customers paid as little as 10.24¢/kWh and Hawaii customers paid as much as 43.18 ¢/kWh. You can expect to take a few hours to charge your battery at a Level 2 charger, while a DCFC will be able to charge it in under an hour. While some locations offer free charging, others use an hourly or kWh fee.

CODA Automotive, a California-based, US-engineered electric car and battery company, is now accepting deposits for its 100% electric, four-door, five-passenger electric sedan. CODA also currently plans to begin selling vehicles in Hawaii in the third quarter of 2011, where the car will be eligible for a $4,500 tax rebate offered in the state.

An integrated fuel-cell electric plant supplemented with small lithium-ion bridging batteries provides both propulsion and ship service electrical. Whereas the SF-BREEZE requires refueling after 100 miles, the Zero-V can go at least 2,400 miles or 15 days before requiring a refuel; enough to get from San Diego to Hawaii.

Bi-directional metering would enable customers to purchase energy at off-peak hours and sell unused, stored energy back to the utility during peak periods at higher rates. However, technical challenges with regard to battery performance due to charge and discharge cycles need further investigation and remediation.”

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. It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences.

There were two Level 2 charging stations about six blocks away in a grocery store parking lot, but that was not a convenient or reliable option. Harry’s 200-unit condominium building in Minneapolis, Minn., has no EV chargers in its five-story indoor parking garage. Minneapolis illustrates the landlord EV charging investment dilemma.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. We will own the battery. We will always own the batteries,&# said Mr. Thesen.
