This topic seeks proof-of-concept, or seedling projects that complement the VTO Battery500 Consortium’s research to more than double the specific energy (to 500 watt-hours per kilogram) of lithium battery technologies which will result in smaller, lighter weight, less expensive battery packs, and more affordable electric vehicles.

Current state-of-the-art hydrogen storage vessels for fuel cell electric vehicles are cost prohibitive because of the necessary carbon fiber. This project will seek to reduce the cost of these vessels by 25% by using less expensive fibers in a graded construction of the vessel wall. Nextgen Aeronautics, Inc.

A CNG vehicle reduces CO 2 emissions by about 25% compared to a gasoline-driven equivalent. Only a pure electric vehicle running on 100% renewable energy would offer a better overall outcome. But even in the event of using the gasoline tank, the switch is so seamless that the driver is unlikely to notice.
