Collecting real-world analysis of electric vehicles is essential in understanding actual demands and requirements of low carbon vehicles for consumers. The low cost of ‘refuelling’ in relatively short periods of time reinforce this. —Brian Price, lecturer in Engineering Systems and Management at Aston.

ARPA-E specifically seeks the development of organisms capable of extracting energy from hydrogen, from reduced earth-abundant metal ions, from robust, inexpensive, readily available organic redo active species, or directly from electric current. Batteries for Electrical Energy Storage in Transportation (BEEST).
