Information sought on advanced battery projects

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); 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); 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). The deadline for all four RFPIs is January 29.

The USABC, founded in 1992, is a cooperative endeavor between automakers Chrysler Group, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. with the U.S. Dept. of Energy that aims to develop advanced electrochemical energy storage technologies that support commercialization of fuel cell, hybrid and electric vehicles.

Trump's Proposal to Control Ukraine's Nuclear Plants Sparks Controversy

KYIV - In a recent phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed that the United States take control of Ukraine's nuclear power plants, including the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which has been under Russian occupation since early in the war. Trump suggested that American ownership of these plants could be the best protection for their infrastructure and that the U.S. could assist in running them with its electricity and utility expertise.

Ukrainian Response

President Zelenskyy promptly addressed Trump's proposal, stating that while the conversation focused on the ZNPP, the issue of ownership was not…
