More than 540 initial concept papers were received in the three focus areas. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions.

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. How about a car-mounted wind-generator? Lithium-Ion batteries share many characteristics with NiMH. The EPRI says lithium-ion batteries are ready now.
