million to a project to develop a high-efficiency engine system that integrates a compact micro-hybrid configuration of a supercharger with an electric waste heat recovery system and employs high rates of recirculated exhaust gases. Modern engines are becoming smaller and smaller with high levels of dilution for efficiency.

The EV Battery Wish List

Cars That Think

Extrapolating from company targets, a future compact-size Lucid—think the size of Tesla Model 3 or Model Y—could decisively downsize its battery without sacrificing useful range. That becomes a low-cost way to generate big improvements in pack density and bolster the mileage of a vehicle,” Castillloux says.

ONE’s hybrid battery pack combines the best aspects of two chemistries to deliver 600 miles of EV range

Charged EVs

Founded by Mujeeb Ijaz in July of 2020, the Michigan-based company recently closed a $65-million funding round led by BMW i Ventures. The challenge is that anode-free cells still have low cycle life. Within a couple of years, I was promoted to Chief Scientific Officer, leading both the chemistry and engineering groups.

Honda Sees PHEVs as having "unnecessary fuel engine and fuel tank;" promises all-electrics "assuming we can come up with a really high-performing battery that we are working on currently." The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. See Chevy Volt for latest.
