To be economically viable, the target weight percentage of hydrogen stored in such a material has been set at 6% by the US Department of Energy. weight% of hydrogen; the hydride materials being verified and scaled-up by Aldrich Materials Science can potentially store up to 10 weight% of hydrogen, reversibly, the company says.

Preliminary analyses of fluid samples collected from a well drilled on the Rock Springs Uplift—a geological feature in southwest Wyoming—suggest that reservoir brines from a 25-square-mile area of the uplift could contain 228,000 tons of lithium. By comparison, the lithium reserves at Silver Peak, Nev.—the

Sodium ion batteries (SIBs, also known as Na ion batteries or NIBs) have been on the horizon for a while but they weren’t expected to be mature enough for cars for some time yet. The JMEV EV3 (Youth Edition) is a micro-EV city car and has a range of 156 miles / 260 kilometres. Overall, SIBs are around 30% cheaper than lithium ion.

The shelf-life of stored charge in rechargeable devices does not scale linearly with maximum SP and has led to trends referred to as ‘range-anxiety’, ‘compulsive charging’, etc. The driving miles per recharge time (min) for commercially viable battery technology is ~0.1–0.4 plugin EVs to Tesla’s 85 kWh battery pack).

The hybrid systems research team at GE Global Research has successfully demonstrated a dual battery system for an electric transit bus, pairing a high-energy density sodium metal halide battery with a high-power lithium battery. Sodium batteries are on the opposite side of the spectrum. Click to enlarge.
