Among the new features in the R18 are a more radical aerodynamics concept, including a new safety cell; a Li-ion battery replacing the flywheel energy storage system; and a revised V6 TDI diesel engine. With the new R18, Audi is switching to a Li-ion battery for energy storage. The shutoff logic includes crash detection.

The kinetic energy produced at the front axle when braking is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced—along with that generated by the KERS at the front axle—is temporarily stored in lithium-ion battery cells. That costs about four seconds for every 13.629-kilometer Le Mans lap.

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. PHEVs’ batteries can be used as the storage medium.

The new aqueous lithium−iodine (Li−I) solar flow battery (SFB) incorporates a built-in dye-sensitized TiO 2 photoelectrode in a Li−I redox flow battery via linkage of an I 3 − /I − based catholyte for the simultaneous conversion and storage of solar energy. This research was funded by the Department of Energy. Click to enlarge.
