Gas Li-ion batteries thwart extreme cold South 8 Technologies demonstrates the cold tolerance of its Li-ion battery by burying it in ice at the 2024 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit. That’s a big improvement on conventional Li-ion batteries, which start to degrade when temps reach 0 °C and shut down at about –20 °C.

AVL Concept Turbohybrid Mild Hybrid System Approaches Full Hybrid Fuel Savings at Lower Cost; Improved Driveability

Green Car Congress

Comparison of Fuel Consumption, Fun to Drive and System Cost of the different powertrain concepts. In testing on a BMW demo 3-Series vehicle, a 1.6-liter However, the system cost of the Turbohybrid was 150% that of the baseline, while the system cost of the full hybrid was more than 300% that of the baseline.

So my idea is to make such a fast-charging battery but I need software with which I can change the contents of the battery like anode, Na instead of Li-ion. BMS for Li-Ion battery 2. SoH modeling for Li-ion battery 3. A miniature demo version can be developed. #56 That would be great.
