For the fans of solid state batteries, this tranche of money may seem like a waste. However, the government beaurocracies are high level thinking, but rather the entrenchment of the established. So, see this as a direction of those in the market, not those coming into the market.
From an article by greencarcongress.comThe US Department of Energy (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) announced up to $60 million in new and innovative advanced vehicle technologies research. (DE-FOA-0002420) This funding opportunity supports priorities in batteries and electrification, advanced engine and fuel technologies, materials, and new mobility technologies.
::
Batteries and Electrification (Up to $35 million)
- Advanced liquid electrolytes for lithium-ion cells under extreme conditions, such as extreme fast charging, and mechanical, thermal, or electrical abuse.
- Novel liquid electrolytes for lithium-sulfur cells that improve the overall stability and performance of these cells.
- Lithium-sulfur and lithium-air battery cell development.
- High-power-density traction inverters for use in light-, medium-, or heavy-duty vehicle applications.
