Monash University team develops graphene-based supercapacitor with energy density of 60 Wh/L

Green Car Congress

A research team at Monash University (Australia) led by Professor Dan Li of the Department of Materials Engineering has developed a new strategy to engineer graphene-based supercapacitors (SC), resulting in an energy density of 60 Wh/liter—comparable to lead-acid batteries and around 12 times higher than commercially available SCs.

Tier 1 HELLA evaluating PowerGenix NiZn batteries for 48V mild hybrid vehicles

Green Car Congress

HELLA will conduct real-world vehicle tests to evaluate NiZn’s ability in meeting the high-power requirements of 48-volt mild hybrid systems, while substantially reducing overall system complexity and cost. It’s inherently very safe and also promises to provide equivalent emissions reductions, but at a lower cost. Earlier post.)

False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. In such an emergency, a bidirectional EV with charge to spare could come to the rescue.
