New aqueous rechargeable lithium battery shows good safety, high reliability, high energy density and low cost; another post Li-ion alternative

Green Car Congress

The battery, which can be low cost and reliable in terms of safety, provides another chemistry for post Li-ion batteries, they suggest, and with higher practical energy densities than Li-air systems for supporting applications including electric vehicles and large-scale grid energy storage. —Wang et al. —Wang et al.

DOE announces $60M to accelerate advanced vehicle technologies research

Green Car Congress

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. New Mobility Systems (Up to $17.5

What’s Happening in EV Battery Technology

Driivz

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.

EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

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. Cost and performance targets in this technology area include: Electric motors. Traction drive system.

ARPA-E Selects 37 Projects for $106M in Funding in Second Round; Electrofuels, Better Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

This project will develop and optimize a novel, engineered microorganism that produces a biodiesel-equivalent fuel from renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide, at costs of less than $2.50 The critical barrier to wider deployment of electric vehicles is the high cost and low energy of today’s batteries. per gallon.
