One negative side effect of a lean burn engine, whether powered by gasoline or diesel fuel, is an increase in the amount of emissions released to the environment. When combined with other advanced battery materials, it could effectively lower battery life cycle cost by up to 70%.

Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW. When these goals are met, the levelized cost of an all-electric vehicle with a 280-mile range will be comparable to that of an ICE vehicle of similar size. Cost and performance targets in this technology area include: Electric motors. Traction drive system.
