ARPA-E awarding $36M to 22 projects in RANGE program for transformative EV storage

Green Car Congress

Dendrite Free Zinc?Air Air Battery. Naval Research Laboratory, will develop a low-cost battery using zinc-air technology. Currently, zinc-air batteries are low power and offer a limited cycle life. If successful, EnZinc’s zinc-air technology could reduce electric vehicle battery cost by more than half.

Team at Naval Research Laboratory suggests design direction for structural batteries

Green Car Congress

The researchers’ analysis also suggests that further found that ext-generation structural batteries should look to energy-dense aluminum-air and zinc-air batteries. By storing energy and bearing mechanical loads, structural batteries reduce the amount of conventional structural materials required by devices.
