EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

When these goals are met, the levelized cost of an all-electric vehicle with a 280-mile range will be comparable to that of an ICE vehicle of similar size. Despite current promising advances, DOE cautions that much more R&D will be needed to achieve the performance and lifetime requirements for deployment of these advanced technologies.

The Net-Zero Neighborhood: Advanced Energy Storage and Highly Efficient Photovoltaics Take Transportation Off the Gasoline Grid and Residential Off the Electric Grid

Green Car Congress

Actually delivering commercially viable 500-mile batteries will require exascale computing—i.e., Weigand is looking for a “500-mile battery” such as a Li-O 2 (Lithium air) thin film nano-technology system and for 50% efficient photovoltaic cells. NZN Needs the Exa Era. To bridge that gap between the 2.7
