Who Really Invented the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery?

Cars That Think

Fifty years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. Did Exxon invent the rechargeable lithium battery? The battery’s performance was also unprecedented: It was both rechargeable and very high in energy output. It’s used in billions of laptops, cellphones, power tools, and cars.

Bosch opts to outsource battery cells rather than to manufacture; disbanding internal efforts, selling Seeo

Green Car Congress

Beyond the vehicles themselves, Bosch is developing solutions for the recharging infrastructure. Bosch will continue to work with cell suppliers to design cells for hybrid- and electric-vehicle batteries, and buy these cells from them. We make highly efficient 48-volt battery systems and develop attractive battery-management systems.

Study: Four of five new-car buyers can charge EVs at home

Charged EVs

To understand how and where those new EVs will be charged, we need to look at the people who will buy them—and not the much larger pool of US drivers overall.

As the off-road vehicle market rushes to electrify, standards are lagging behind

Charged EVs

High-voltage DC current is more dangerous and harder to interrupt than the comparatively sedate 48 volts used in smaller vehicles. I’m on the SAE Truck and Bus Electrical Systems Committee, and I know we are trying to write 48-volt standards now. When will they need to go higher than 1,000 volts? Geoff Schwartz: Yes.

Simon Fraser study finds PEV success not tied to awareness of public chargers; implications for policy makers

Green Car Congress

A new Canada-wide study conducted by Simon Fraser University researchers found that awareness of public chargers is not a strong predictor of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) interest; other variables are more important, such as the availability of level 1 (110/120-volt) charging at home. —Bailey et al.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

And yet, what about recharging? Always a pleasure to be part of IEEE. That means I'd have to recharge at least once. In the same way that making all of your PC parts and accessories work together initially was pretty lumpy. Now it's much simpler, but if you buy Apple stuff, it all works together. car market.
