Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources. Elemental resources.

CalCars and PHEVs Frequently Asked Questions

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid.
