Wearable devices, like nearly every other piece of tech, need energy. The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.)

The LightningElectric fuel cell range extender uses hydrogen stored onboard in high-tech carbon fiber-wrapped pressure vessels equipped with sensors. It is a natural step for Lightning with our extensive experience with sensor-equipped high-pressure composite vessels that we pioneered with our hydraulic hybrid offering.

In the Toyota Mirai, compressed hydrogen fuel is stored in three 10,000-psi carbon-fiber-reinforced high-pressure tanks: one mounted longitudinally in the center of the car; another mounted transversely under the rear seat, and a third below the battery. Cooling air for the battery is silently pulled in from the cabin.

The high-voltage battery stores up to 95 kWh of energy and can recover up to 30% of energy used to drive the vehicle during regenerative braking applications. PPE is characterized by a high-tech and highly scalable architecture that allows for both low- and high-floor, from the medium-size class and up—SUVs, Sportbacks, Avants and crossovers.

Related to this, DOE seeks by 2020 to develop novel precursors and conversion processes capable of reducing the high-volume cost of high-strength carbon fiber by 25% from $13 per pound to ~$9 per pound. 8/kWh ($266/kg H 2 stored ). 8/kWh ($266/kg H 2 stored ). kWh/kg system (5.5
