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

Green Car Congress

The chemistry minimizes conventional protection and controls while enabling it to store energy and provide structure, thus making vehicles lighter and safer. Pennsylvania State University (PSU) will use a new fabrication process to build load-bearing lithium-ion batteries that could be used as structural components of electric vehicles.

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). The scientists found the nanofluids could be used in a system with an energy-storing potential approaching that of a lithium-ion battery and with the pumpable recharging of a flow battery.
