VTO-funded research has reduced the cost of advanced batteries by 75% since 2008, and nearly every plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) on the road today uses VTO-developed battery technology. DOE is working to lower the cost of the power electronics and motors in an EV to $7/kW by 2022 from $30/kW in 2012.

Toyota has also ramped up development on new battery technologies such as solid state and lithium air, as well as devoting resources focused on chemistries beyond lithium, such as magnesium and other low-valence materials. We have also heard from owners that they would like a more convenient charging operation.

From how much they cost and weigh to the amount of power they store and how long they take to charge, electric vehicle (EV) batteries have a significant impact on EVs themselves, the EV industry as a whole, and ultimately EV buyers.

Dow Energy Materials uses a proprietary coating process for their anode and cathode materials that, when used in combination, provide greater lifetime (up to 2x over conventional uncoated systems), higher energy density, improved safety and a faster charging rate. One-third of the cost of an electric vehicle is the battery itself.

For example the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased eightfold since 2008, from around 55 watt-hours/litre to 450 watt-hours/litre in 2020. At the same time the cost of lithium-ion battery packs declined 87% between 2008 and 2021. million kilometers.

Vorbeck, a manufacturer and developer of applications using its proprietary graphene material ( earlier post ), optioned the technology for use in a graphene-based electrode for lithium-air and lithium-sulfur batteries. PEM fuel cells are primarily used for backup power.

Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW. When these goals are met, the levelized cost of an all-electric vehicle with a 280-mile range will be comparable to that of an ICE vehicle of similar size. That would take a 55 kW system cost of $1,650 down to $440 and increase power density from 1.1 kW/kg to 1.4
