It features a 30-mile (48 km) range without charging; it can recharge, hands free and in-route, in 10 minutes. Foothill Transit’s Line 291 travels 17 miles (27 km) between La Verne and Pomona and recharges its buses in route at the Pomona Transit Center at a drive-in docking station.
Researchers at UC San Diego, with their colleagues at other institutions, have developed a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. volts versus a Li/Li + reference electrode. other intercalation anode candidates (Li 3 VO 4 and LiV 0.5
With lithiumtitanate oxide in the anode, the SCiB offers a high level operating safety, long life and rapid charging. The SCiB also generates little heat while recharging, eliminating the need for power to cool the battery module. times the driving distance per level of charge of a typical lithium-ion battery.
Using technology developed by Proterra, the lightweight, composite-body bus recharges in about 10 minutes. Proterra’s TerraVolt energy storage system consists of 54-72 kWh lithiumtitanate battery packs that recharge in 10 minutes using the company’s roof-mounted Fast Fill recharging system. Proterra Inc.
Toshiba uses a lithiumtitanate (LTO) material in its anode for improved safety and support for fast recharge. Furthermore, Volkswagen and Toshiba are planning the development of battery systems with a high specific energy density for the next generation of electric vehicles. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).

These two lithiumtitanate fast charging battery packs are components of Proterra’s TerraFlex energy system and can be used interchangeably in the Catalyst vehicle platform. This system enables customers to select the right amount and type of energy storage to meet specific route requirements.
Next-generation lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Three projects to develop improved batteries for use in stationary grid-scale energy storage applications including lithium-air, lithium-ion, and lithium-titanate batteries. Technology Development: $3.2 Grantee Project NYSERDA Funding. SUNY Binghamton.
This marked the first commercial acceptance of an advanced Lithium-Titanate battery to provide grid regulation services in one of the largest electricity markets in the US. So far these have been combined with positive electrodes from common lithium ion batteries. The Altairnano systems feature rapid recharging and discharging.
The eGen Flex electric hybrid system includes a new drive unit, inverter and rechargeable energy storage system. The energy storage system incorporates the latest LithiumTitanate (LTO) technology, which significantly increases energy density, allows for faster charging and enables pure electric (engine off) extended range capability.
Fast charging is seen as a solution for range and recharging time issues for EVs. Fast charging in cold or even cool temperatures brings the risk of lithium plating—the formation of metallic lithium that drastically reduces battery life and even results in safety hazards. C charge at 10 °C and C/1.5
Proterra’s TerraVolt FC fast charge battery options (lithiumtitanate, LTO chemistry) allows for maximum run time with minimum dwell time. This system can be recharged on-route in less than ten minutes with a 500kW charge rate. Earlier post.).
XALT Energy (originally founded in 2009 as Dow-Kokam, LLC), a leading developer and manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, signed a global exclusive agreement with Hybrid Kinetic Group (HK Group) of China for the supply of its LithiumTitanate (LTO) batteries from its manufacturing facilities in Midland, Michigan for all-electric buses in China.
Researchers at Cornell led by Professor Lyndon Archer, in collaboration with Professor Ravishankar Sundararaman at Rensselaer Polytechnic, have demonstrated a new technique for enabling the use of high-capacity lithium metal anodes in rechargeable batteries. The areal capacity is 3 mAh cm -2 and the C-rate is 1 C.
Without a major breakthrough in battery technologies, fully electric vehicles that are as convenient as ICE-based cars—meaning that they can travel 500 kilometers (312 miles) on a single charge and can recharge in a matter of minutes—are unlikely to be available for the mass market by 2020.
