Update on Select Argonne Lab Activity with HEV and PHEV Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

New titanate system for HEVs. The manganese spinel system, Amine said, has excellent power capability—much better than any other existing lithium-ion system—allowing the possibility of designing small batteries, which could lead to significant cost reduction. New high energy composite cathode. Ni 0.175 Co 0.10 Mn 0.525 ]O 1.95

The announcement marks the single largest investment in advanced battery technology for hybrid and electric-drive vehicles ever made. Production of nickel-cobalt-metal battery cells and packs, as well as production of battery separators (by partner Entek) for hybrid and electric vehicles. Industry officials expect that this $2.4

50 °C) while still preserving remarkable cycle life (4,500 cycles, equivalent to >12 y and >280,000 miles of EV lifetime), thus making EVs truly weather-independent. As such, a plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) cell that can withstand a 4-C charge without lithium plating at 25 °C can only allow a 1.5-C C charge at 10 °C and C/1.5
