(Nanowerk News) The Department of Energy announced today that 24 million hours of supercomputing time out of a total of 1.6 billion available hours at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories have been awarded to investigate materials for developing lithium air batteries, capable of powering a car for 500 miles on a single charge. Through the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program, a research team including scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory and IBM will use two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to design new materials required for a lithium air battery. Lithium-ion batteries, used in today’s emerging plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, currently have a range of approximately 40 to 100 miles. More...

Former governor of New York George Pataki visited the Washington Auto Show today and set an ambitious target during the morning’s opening plenary session. How ambitious? Um, he called for electric vehicles (EVs) to grow to 40 percent of the new vehicle market by 2020. Yes, 40 percent. In ten years. In other words, way, way higher than anyone else is seriously suggesting will happen. Pataki told AutoblogGreen that: More...

The National Research Council recently issued a report predicting that plug-in vehicles will remain uneconomical without subsidies for decades. This report attracted much attention, with media concluding the growing interest could be just one more example of overblown expectations. Its message has percolated through Congress, undercutting the efforts of legislators and government agencies seeking effective rapid ways to create clean jobs, revive domestic industries, reduce dependence on foreign oil and cut greenhouse gases. Just one problem: its assumptions are deeply flawed — and as they say, “garbage in/garbage out.” How can anyone respond effectively? We’ve heard experts say their comments were not taken into account. One way to set the record straight is not to turn to “other studies with other viewpoints.” The only thing a forecaster can’t dispute is reality. Now leading battery manufacturers are beginning to come forward, reporting their real-world experience and business assumptions. Our efforts, with partners, to respond to the report, are gaining momentum! Details below. More...
