Nano One produces low-cost high-performance energy storage materials for batteries as well as a wide range of advanced nanostructured composite materials. For electric vehicles, this could translate into fewer battery cells, less weight, less cost extended range, longer lifetime or better warranties.

FEV performed the full vehicle integration of the concept. A liquid-cooled, 41 kWh lithium-ion battery pack operates at 700V and provides the energy storage. The energy storage system consists of a 20 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack that operates at 346V, with a Delphi DC/DC converter. Earlier post.)

The vans themselves are based on the concept Town and Country EV that was unveiled last Fall by Chrysler. However, because of the duty cycle used by the Postal Service, which generally amounts to only about 18-20 miles per day on a fixed route, these vehicles are being built without the range extender seen on the concept.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary. When plugged in, hybrids with advanced controllers can announce their identity, location and storage capacity to the grid. Whats Vehicle-to-Grid and why would I like it?

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2.

Gallery: Plugging in at home Battery swap stations are a concept often associated with Better Place , an EV infrastructure company. The idea is that when your car needs more energy, you can drive your car into a station and, like an automated car wash, your depleted battery is replaced robotically by one that has a full charge.
