USABC RFPIs for Advanced EV Batteries invite developers to propose electrochemical energy storage for EVs, PHEVs, and PAHEVs, including LEESS, with 50% cost share, DOE partnership, and a January 29 deadline.
Inside the Issue
Co-funded solicitations to advance EV, PHEV, and hybrid batteries; developers submit by January 29.
- 50% minimum cost share required from developers
- Focus on EV, PHEV, and PAHEV energy storage
- Includes LEESS for power-assist hybrids
- DOE partnership with Chrysler, Ford, and GM
The United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) is seeking requests for proposal information (RFPIs) for four projects related to advanced battery development for hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric and all-electric vehicles.
USABC said its four RFPIs include a 50% minimum cost share by developers and are focused on development of advanced batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), reflecting progress in efforts such as lithium battery collaboration that engage multiple partners; development of high-power, lower energy-energy storage system (LEESS) for power-assist hybrid electric vehicles (PAHEVs); development of advanced batteries for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), amid concerns that the U.S. risks losing the EV race without sustained momentum; and a technology assessment of proposed advanced battery technologies for EVs.
The RFPIs for advanced battery development are aimed at developers with electrochemical energy storage technologies that are capable of meeting or approaching the USABC long-term criteria for electric vehicle applications (www.uscar.org/usabc), and build on car battery grants that strengthen domestic manufacturing and supply chains. The deadline for all four RFPIs is January 29.
The USABC, founded in 1992, is a cooperative endeavor between automakers Chrysler Group, which outlined a Chrysler EV plan to expand its electric lineup, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. with the U.S. Dept. of Energy following the EV funding announcement that accelerated national investment, which aims to develop advanced electrochemical energy storage technologies that support commercialization of fuel cell, hybrid and electric vehicles.
