INL, UCSD researchers find slow, low-energy charging of Li batteries creates glassy lithium; high-performance Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Scientists from Idaho National Laboratory and the University of California San Diego have shown that slow, low-energy charging causes lithium atoms to deposit on electrodes in a disorganized way that improves charging behavior. That initial nucleation may affect your battery performance, safety and reliability.

Ending an Ugly Chapter in Chip Design

Cars That Think

He and colleagues at University of California, San Diego delivered what he called an “an open and transparent assessment” of Google’s reinforcement learning approach. Briefly, this is how it works : The chip’s design file starts as what’s called a netlist—which macros and cells are connected to which others according what constraints.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

You could do V2G through the DC port of the vehicle—this is what we are doing with school buses here in California, where our charging station converts AC to DC and then connects to the DC port of the vehicle to provide power. Charged : Does the bill refer to both of those options or does it leave it open? That’s one way.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

If you don’t build something like that, people can’t refer to it. In order to get half a megawatt to the supermarket down the street, they had to trench, they had to make the connection, they had to make sure they had enough generation, they had to serve that site. It was free to the builder, but it wasn’t free to the utility.
