SLAC, MIT, TRI researchers advance machine learning to accelerate battery development; insights on fast-charging

Green Car Congress

An animation shows two contrasting views of how electrode particles release their stored lithium ions during battery charging. Hongbo Zhao/MIT). Then they took particles to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Advanced Light Source to be examined with scanning X-ray transmission microscopy, which homes in on individual particles.

ChargePoint’s roadmap: EV charging 80% home/work, 20% public/fast, “virtual batteries” for utilities

Green Car Congress

ChargePoint’s stance is bolstered by a new MIT study that suggests , in part, that electric cars that plug into the grid, could, collectively, act as a massive “virtual battery” for grid energy storage. MIT: Utilities and the virtual battery. We need more power-system flexibility as renewable-generation penetration grows.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. So just use a portable electric generator in the trunk, from the hardware store to charge the batteries while you drive.
