A composite blend of carbon fibers and polymer resin is being developed that can store and charge more energy faster than conventional batteries can. This material can then be used around the vehicle, replacing existing components, to store and charge energy. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.

A new technology from Australia is certainly raising this prospect, offering a novel approach to stationary energy storage—whose packaging at least harkens back to the old, familiar car battery. On the other hand, lithium-ion is temperature sensitive and state-of-charge sensitive. What we are good at is energy shifting.
