Two studies exploring battery costs for hybrids and plug-ins: LEESS, PHEV20, and PHEV40

Green Car Congress

For PHEV20, the program focused on both commercially available and emerging cathode materials aimed for use in a 20-mile PHEV battery pack. Costs were modeled for a 300V PHEV battery pack that could provide 5.5 Path forward for Li-based batteries. Cells were designed for a range of electrode loadings (1.5–3 Source: TIAX.

If you are planning to use ADVISOR tool in MATLAB then the help documents of the software would also be helpful. 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. That would be great.
