Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, led by Prof. enables the direct use of commercially available bulk Li 2 S particles as high-capacity cathode materials for rechargeable Li?S The ability to use commercially available bulk particles could significantly decrease the manufacturing cost of Li?S Batteries'
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and Stony Brook University have fabricated a thicker electrode for lithium-ion batteries by controlling nanosheet assembly via the combination of an external magnetic field and drying-based densification. The researchers emphasized they are early in their work in this area.
A limited number of Focus Electrics will first be available in California and the New York/New Jersey areas. Availability of the Focus Electric will expand in 2012 to the remaining 15 launch markets as production ramps up. 1 gallon of gasoline=33.7 Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Portland, Ore.; Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; Richmond, Va.;
John Goodenough at the University of Texas at Austin and colleague Kyu-Sung Park have written a perspective paper on Li-ion batteries (LIBs), published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. More recently, at the University of Texas, Austin, Dr. Goodenough patented a new class of iron phosphate materials. Earlier post.).
Professor John Goodenough, the inventor of the lithium-ion battery, and his team at the University of Texas at Austin have identified a new cathode material made of the nontoxic and inexpensive mineral eldfellite (NaFe(SO 4 ) 2 ), presenting a significant advancement in the quest for a commercially viable sodium-ion battery.

Next weekend, di Grassi will return to the cockpit of the Audi R18 e-tron quattro hybrid sports car in round four of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) at Austin). Maximum power is available only during practice and qualifying sessions. During races, power-saving mode (150 kW, equivalent to 202.5
Traditional rechargeable batteries use a liquid electrolyte and an oxide as a cathode host into which the working cation of the electrolyte is inserted reversibly over a finite solid-solution range. eV of an aqueous electrolyte restricts rechargeable batteries with a long shelf life to a voltage V ≲ 1.5 Murchison at UT Austin.
Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Furthermore, the aqueous cathode does not suffer from H 2 evolution from the solution, and the battery is efficiently rechargeable, they note.

Drivers of the BMW ActiveE will be able to recharge their electric vehicle at any ChargePoint Network-enabled electric vehicle charging station in the US. Following the MINI E, the BMW ActiveE is the BMW Group’s second electric vehicle made available to consumers. Included with all the ChargePoint service plans are driver services.
Xtreme Power of Austin, Texas, is supplying its Dynamic Power Resource on-site energy storage and power management system. Michigan Assembly’s energy storage system will be able to recharge from the grid during off-peak hours when energy is available at a lower cost.
Plug-ins could be recharged by plugging into a standard wall socket, delivering "electric" gallons of gas for about $ 0.75-$1.00 Experts estimate there is sufficient generation in place and available at night to charge up to one-third of all vehicles in America, if they were plug-ins. The result is an 80+ mile-per-gallon vehicle.
Additionally, the campaign has gained more than 8,000 “soft” fleet orders for these vehicles when they are available. Plug-in vehicles would combine today’s new electric-flex fuel (gas and/or biofuels such as ethanol) hybrid technology with a larger battery that could be recharged by plugging it into a standard wall sockets.
The program includes the installation of 10 alternative fuel refueling sites (two B20, one Electric Recharging, and seven CNG). The project will result in expanded availability of alternative fuels with 17 new CNG and E85 fueling stations and 63 electric vehicle charging stations. Total DOE award: $15,000,000.
The entire PHEV environmental assessment is available on the EPRI website. Participants in the collaboration include Alabama Power, American Electric Power, Austin Energy , BC Hydro, CenterPoint Energy, Consolidated Edison of New York, Dominion, DTE Energy, Duke Energy, FirstEnergy Corp., ActaCell of Austin, Tex.,
Here's the press release: PLUG-IN PARTNERS DECLARES VICTORY In January 2006, Austin Energy launched the national Plug-In Partners campaign, a grassroots effort to demonstrate to automakers that there is sufficient demand to support the mass production of flexible-fuel plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. First, were economics.
A full list by state of the all the projects is available here. This project will develop and implement an Energy Internet microgrid, located in a large mixed-use infill development site in Austin, Texas. The selected projects include advanced battery systems (including flow batteries), flywheels, and compressed air energy systems.
Automakers agree on common plug to recharge electric vehicles by Darren Murph , posted Apr 19th 2009 at 4:24PM Just hours after General Motors put forth a proposal for a standardized plug for electric vehicles , in flies this.

On the one hand, since we consume far more oil than is available here at home, we are obliged to import most of what we need from abroad. There are a number of compelling reasons for action: For starters, we in the United States, and industrialized world more generally, are funding both sides in the War for the Free World.
Plug-ins could be recharged by plugging into a standard wall socket, delivering “electric” gallons of gas for about 75 cents a gallon at prevailing electric rates. Everything needed is available: the power trains, the gasoline engines, the computer systems, electric motors and batteries. The technology exists today,” Wynn says.
Founded in 1989, and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Valence has facilities in Nevada, China and Northern Ireland. They are usually delivery vehicles working within a neighborhood, and are on the road for 6-8 hour a day and are recharged overnight. a provider of lithium-ion batteries, modules and packs. The Edison is a 3.5
Some $311 million will be offered to 36 “community” projects , including two Indian Tribes in Alaska and Arizona, to build both EV and hydrogen recharging stations at libraries, schools, public parks, etc. Money too has been earmarked to create hydrogen corridors for medium- and heavy-duty freight trucks.
Picking the Top 10 electric car makers now involves making some choices as the number of vehicles available increases. Technology upgrades like Full Self Driving remain available to buy, but are not delivered via an over-the-air update. We’ll try to keep this up-to-date as the EV market continues to evolve.

The silicon-dominant composite anode, which offers four times the energy density of conventional graphite anodes, enables high energy density rechargeable Li-ion polymer cells. John Goodenough, Professor of Material Science at University of Texas-Austin, Enevate Technical Advisory Board.
A key thing, he said, will be to recharge the batteries at an acceptable time for the electricity grid — to “make sure people aren’t charging at the very peak, peak time,” like late afternoon when the electricity grid is already weighted down by demands like air conditioning. And who is going to pay for all this???…
Full Disclosure: Can-Am flew me out to Austin, Texas, and set me up in a rather nice hotel so I could test its new motorcycles. While the bikes can likewise be recharged using a Level 1 (120 v) it takes just over three hours to go from 20-80 percent and a little over five to from 0-100 percent. This includes their new motorcycles.
But it would have made EV’s better for 10 yrs until now had they been available. Used Cell phone tower battery takeouts are inexpensive and available about everywhere if you call around.

Most rechargeable cylindrical cells use a chemistry with a nominal voltage around 3.7 Some cells are also available with an internal protection circuit to prevent over-discharge and short-circuit damage. When I was visiting the Dell server plant in Austin, I found an interesting practice, which can be replicated at Pure EV.
