Skylark Restaurants in Japan to offer free EV recharging at 900 locations

Green Car Congress

The Skylark restaurant group in Japan plans to offer free EV public recharging at their 900 locations around Japan, with no obligation to be a customer of the restaurant. Theoretically you could tour the entire country paying nothing for your travel and eating cheap at Skylark’s restaurants. Integrity Exports.

UT and ORNL researchers develop new class of pseudocapacitor; anion-based intercalation pseudocapacitance

Green Car Congress

Unlike other devices, the team’s is the first to utilize oxygen anions (negatively-charged ions) instead of cations (positive ions) to store its energy. The device uses a perovskite material (LaMnO 3 ), a structure containing vacant sites where oxygen anions can be stored, making these advancements a possibility.

USC team develops novel organic redox flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

These properties render quinone-based redox couples very attractive for high-efficiency metal-free rechargeable batteries, they found. Since grid-scale electrical energy storage requires hundreds of gigawatt-hours to be stored, the batteries for this application must be inexpensive, robust, safe and sustainable.

Solaris to present new generation hydrogen bus

Green Car Congress

In addition, it will be possible to recharge it by means of a plug-in charging outlet (as is the case in standard electric buses). Hydrogen is stored in composite tanks on the roof; the mass of the tanks will be reduced by about 20% compared to previous models. The battery will be charged with power from the fuel cell.

Georgia Tech researchers develop aluminum-foil-based anodes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Metal negative electrodes that alloy with lithium have high theoretical charge storage capacity and are ideal candidates for developing high-energy rechargeable batteries. The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. Sloan Foundation.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) They gradually lose capacity with each discharge and recharge cycle, and they can be fire hazards.
