Lithium is a stellar element for an electrochemical cell in many ways—it combines a high power storage capacity and cell voltage with fast ion migration. It is funded with €3 million by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This enables compact batteries and fast loading and discharging.

Lightning Hybrids’ system functions like other hybrids that add a secondary power source to an existing engine. The essence is to replace a diesel-powered GMC 4500 shuttle with gasoline Ford E450s upfitted with the Lightning Hybrids system. Three published drive cycles were tested, and one specific to a Lightning Hybrids customer.

The global power generation and delivery infrastructure has generally remained unchanged for the better part of a century. As more aspects of life have been electrified, the strain on the power delivery system has grown – rolling blackouts have already become the norm in some areas when demands are too great.

Smart EV charging uses intelligence to manage when and how an electric vehicle plugged into a smart charger will receive power for charging based on the cost of electricity, its availability, and the needs of the driver. At its most basic level, power flexibility gives users more options about whether and when to use energy.
