ARPA-E RANGE: $20M for robust transformational energy storage systems for EVs; 3x the range at 1/3 the cost

Green Car Congress

If successful, these vehicles will provide near cost and range parity to gasoline-powered ICE vehicles, ARPA-E said. Areas of particular interests are high conductivity inorganic electrolytes for lithium and other alkaline metal ion systems; and solid state and hybrid battery designs and low cost manufacturing processes.
