ARPA-E RANGE: $20M for robust transformational energy storage systems for EVs; 3x the range at 1/3 the cost

Green Car Congress

The Robust Affordable Next Generation EV-Storage (RANGE) program’s goal is to enable a 3X increase in electric vehicle range (from ~80 to ~240 miles per charge) with a simultaneous price reduction of > 1/3 (to ~ $30,000). ARPA-E defines robust design as electrochemical energy storage chemistries and/or architectures (i.e.

Researchers show that layered calcium transition metal oxides can be promising cathode materials for Ca-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Out of several candidates that could replace Li in rechargeable batteries, calcium (Ca) stands out as a promising metal. Not only is Ca 10,000 times more abundant than Li, but it can also yield—in theory—similar battery performance. —Prof. Haesun Park, Chung-Ang University, co-corresponding author. 202101698.
