Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory have used machine learning techniques that incorporate charging data to create unique charging protocols for superfast charging methods tailored to different types of electric vehicle batteries. Charging EV Li-ion batteries is a balancing act. —Eric Dufek, Ph.D.

FCVs using hydrogen from biomass emit 90% fewer GHGs than current gasoline vehicles, and 63% fewer GHGs than a plug-in hybrid running on cellulosic ethanol, with charging based on the national grid mix. Current estimates of Li-ion storage cost are $1,000/kWh, with DOE targeting a cost of $300/kWh by 2014. Infrastructure.

AC is the type of electricity that flows through power grids and into homes and businesses, including to power EV chargers. Your EV’s battery life has more to do with temperature management than anything else, as lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are sensitive to high temperatures. DC is the type stored in batteries.
