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

IBM and its partners have launched a multi-year research initiative exploring rechargeable Li-air systems: The Battery 500 Project. The transition to Li-air batteries (if successful) should be viewed in terms of a similar development cycle. The energy density of gasoline is approximately 13,000 Wh/kg. Click to enlarge.

In addition, the analysis took into account sector-wide effects such as consumer preferences and potential changes in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Hybrid LDVs might reach 94 mpg (2.5 Therefore, battery pack costs in 2050 for a 100-mile real-world travel range are expected to drop by a factor of about 5. l/100 km) by 2050.
