Solid state Batteries v/s Li-ion Batteries: A Comparison Based on Cost

Get Electric Vehicle

  As for any novel technology, the cost to develop, manufacture and integrate remains one of the deciding factors in the mass adoption and acceptance of these technologies. To better understand the severity of the cost component, let us look at the cost comparison between Solid state and Li-Ion batteries.

Year-long testing of Leclanché 60 Ah G/NMC cells shows high energy density, high cycle life

Green Car Congress

The standard 60 Ah production G/NMC cells are high energy density and high power cells allowing good lifetime with higher C-rates symmetrical cycling: fast charge/ discharge within 30 minutes. Key findings include: The lifetime tests on these cells validate over 4000 cycles at ca. Stable cells cycled between 3.00 - 4.35

ACEEE report recommends steps toward international alignment of heavy-duty vehicle efficiency standards

Green Car Congress

A new report published by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) recommends the international harmonization of fuel efficiency and/or greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks and buses. Aligning test methods would also reduce manufacturer compliance costs, and thus strengthen support for the program.

DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Heavy-duty diesel vehicles using mixing controlled compression ignition (MCCI), the most common ignition and combustion strategies for heavy-duty diesel engines, contribute significantly to the emissions of GHG, oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), and particular matter (PM) and are subject to stringent emission standards.

DOE seeking input on analysis methodology and assumption for estimating total cost of ownership of future advanced vehicle technologies

Green Car Congress

DOE conducted a preliminary analysis for several fuel/vehicle pathways for present day (2011) and future (2016 and 2030) mid-size cars to examine the potential for technology improvement to reduce the total costs of ownership of advanced powertrain vehicles and fuels to levels comparable to conventional powertrain vehicles and fuels.

Iveco begins deliveries of heavy-duty Euro VI natural gas trucks

Green Car Congress

The tractor AT440S33T/P LNG, in standard configuration, is equipped with 4 x 70-liter CNG tanks and a 525-liter LNG cryogenic tank. Exhaust gas is treated by a standard passive three-way catalyst that does not require the use of any additives. Natural gas PM emissions are 95% lower in comparison to diesel, and 35% lower in NO x.
