Argonne and Hanyang University Develop New High-Energy Cathode Material With Improved Thermal Stability; Good Fit for PHEV Applications

Green Car Congress

SEM of Li[Ni 0.64 Mn 0.18 ]O 2 particle with concentration gradient of Ni, Co, and Mn contents. The results, say the researchers, suggest that the cathode material could enable production of batteries that meet the demanding performance and safety requirements of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. From Sun et al.

Study finds resource constraints should not be a limiting factor for large-scale EV battery production

Green Car Congress

On the order of 1 billion 40 kWh Li-based EV batteries could be built with the currently estimated reserve base of lithium, according to a recent study by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley. 90% for Li-ion couples). *ESP well beyond the limit of the figure.

The 80-20 Rule

Plug In Partners

O ften when I talk about Plug-Ins , I say that PHEV's are a perfect embodiment of the 80-20 rule. But in the case of the PHEV , the logic goes something like this: Roughly 80% of our daily trips are under 35 miles. Here's a piece of it: Why do PHEVs reduce greenhouse pollution ? And the remaining 20% are longer trips.
