At the conclusion of the Phase 1 period, teams will be down-selected based on an engineering design review and the projected economic impact of their Phase 1 projects on a future electricity grid. Next, the CO2-rich gas (>30% CO 2 ) from the calciner is separated to recover high-purity CO 2 , which can be stored.

What is different is that the electrode material that stores the Li is all-carbon for both the anode as well as the cathode. Therefore the electrodes in our Li-ion full-cell configuration are exclusively made from carbon (PGN) materials into which Li ions are reversibly plated and stored. —Mukherjee et al.

In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid.

Drivers will need to select the "stealth" mode to rely exclusively on electricity stored in the battery. The Roadster runs exclusively on power stored in its battery: it does not have an onboard generator to extend its range. The stealth mode is a holdover from the origins of the vehicles propulsion system.
