Updating United States Advanced Battery Consortium and Department of Energy battery technology targets for battery electric vehicles

摘要: Abstract Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) offer significant potential to reduce the nation's consumption of petroleum based products and production greenhouse gases however, their widespread adoption is limited largely by cost performance limitations modern batteries. With recent growth in efforts accelerate BEV (e.g. Department Energy's (DOE) EV Everywhere Grand Challenge) age existing battery technology targets, there sufficient motivation re-evaluate industry's targets for cost. Herein we document analysis process that supported selection United States Advanced Consortium's (USABC) updated targets. Our agnostic approach identifies necessary characteristics will enable vehicle level required a commercially successful, mass market full BEV, as guided workgroup's OEM members. The result an aggressive target, implying batteries need advance considerably before BEVs can be both competitive with powered vehicles.
